Sentence: Oprah seemed really enthusiastic in the most boring thing ever invented on this planet. My choices were to pepitize or to tell it frankly to her face that she would look like a migratory Teletubby with that nose bidet in her nostrils. I had to pepitize or else, I would hurt her feelings. Soon, everyone watching Oprah joined the pepity.

Etymology: PEPITIZE- pep [enthusiasm; as in pep rally] + pity [to have compassion and join the fake enthusiasm] + sympathize; PEPITY - pep + pity
