Divhersion

Created by: dstorm78

Pronunciation: Div-Her-Shun

Sentence: John fell prey to Mandy's divhersion when she asked for a raise.

Etymology: A play on the word diversion and the inclusion of the pronoun 'her', since it is generally assumed that a woman would commit this act. It could be supposed that 'divhesion' might also be an acceptable use.
