Pronunciation: DATE et CET er ah

Sentence: She called him the date from hell. But we had all nicknamed him datetcetera. He talked too much and too loud; he moved too fast, sometimes knocking over things; he tried too hard to do the right thing and constantly failed at it. He just went overboard in everything he did. He was too much! Why did she go out with him? She said it was because he was persistent and he just kept coming back.

Etymology: DATE: ETCETERA: to go on and on
