Emoticonfuse

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: ee mo tik kon fuze

Sentence: After their passionate one night stand, Erin had e-mailed Derrin hundreds of times. His non-response, in fact returned e-mails, had the affect to emoticonfuse her and make her wonder where she went wrong. Being rejected in person was bad enough, but being e-jected was even worse to someone like Erin who lived her life on-line.

Etymology: Emoticon (a representation of a facial expression (as a smile or frown) created by typing a sequence of characters in sending email) & Confuse (be confusing or perplexing to; cause to be unable to think clearly;cause to feel embarrassment)
