Bannsaboteur: /ban-sab-at-er/ Sarah was so close to tying the knot with her darling John. If only her evil nemesis cousin hadn't turned up to the reading of the banns waving a copy of Sarah's current marriage certificate. I mean, she and Trevor hadn't seen each other for ages: it was a divorce in all but name. Couldn't her stupid bannsaboteur relative see that? And where was John, anyway? Etymology: banns (public notice of forthcoming marriage) + saboteur (one who commits an act of destruction) Created by: CharlieB.

Epiphankneed: /e-pi-fa-need/ Nano-seconds after the cell phone call from her fiance Brian, while her carefully chosen processional music loomed from the interior of the church, Penny felt the strangest sensation. Its beginning, as her face began to flush, reminded her somewhat of the time she had taken too much niacin. Following this was the awareness that her life was not going to go as so meticulously planned. The thought-sensations, which had begun in her pineal gland, travelled down her spine and into her legs which bent immediately. Her lovely bouquet of almost-mauve roses flew from her hand. There she lay, prostrate before the stunned, but strategically assembled, wedding party. She had been ephipankneed right on the steps of the church. Etymology: From epiphany, meaning a moment of sudden and great revelation + knee, a verb, meaning to reduce someone to a state of weakness Created by: readerwriter.

Qualmflash: // Amy had been planning to attend law school in the Fall, but after spending some time with actual lawyers during her internship, she began having doubts. Ha. Doubt is actually not the best way to describe it. It was more like a qualmflash--she suddenly saw the connection between all the uneasy feelings that had striken her during the semester; she would never be comfortable with the mores governing a law firm. Etymology: Created by: Filthy.
