Sentence: When Jared took a new job he felt the need to get a shorter haircut for the first time in years. The next morning, as he looked in the mirror he was startled to see his father's face. His reaction can best be described as an heirball, replete with a strong gag reflex and some of those sounds his cat makes in the middle of the night.

Etymology: heir (a person inheriting and continuing the legacy of a predecessor) + hairball (A hairball is a small collection of hair or fur formed in the stomach of animals primarily cats)
