Top verboticism of the day created by mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: ob-pres-sive
Sentence: Kate's obpressive-compulsive personality disorder was manifested by a need to push elevator buttons. However, since she was also a germaphobe, she kept hand sanitizer and a pack of Clorox wipes in her purse to disinfect the button first in case there was swine flu or any strange viruses that may have been left by the last person to press it. This activity, once a source of contempt, was welcomed by her coworkers during flu season since she also needed to disinfect everything else she touched.
Etymology: wondplay on obsessive-compulsive: a strong psychological obsession on an activity, individual or object; a neurotic need to perform a particular activity, sometimes excessively or ritually.

Obpress: /ahb-PRes/ Rick became enraged when he thought I was intentionally trying to oppress his need to obpress the buttons in the elevator.

What made it worse was the twenty-three story ride in the small enclosed elevator and listening to him rant about how he needs to press the button. I am not sure whether to be sorry for him or appalled by his childish tantrum. Etymology: obsession + press (a play on the word oppress)= obpress Created by: libertybelle.
