Narcissistant
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: nahr-suh-sis-tuhnt
Sentence: Jane stopped to pick up a snack at the convenience store and found that the term was an oxymoron. The narcissistant was also some kind of moron. His mother must have told him he was the sun and that all the planets revolved around him. His attitude was like, "wait your turn Uranus".

Clirk
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: klərk
Sentence: Calvin knows he needs to have a job. He doesn’t always understand that he needs to work.

Sentence: "It's no wonder people shoplift", Betty thought as she waited yet again at Customer Service to make a payment on her layaway. The cashier was going to snubscribe her again because he was too busy yakking on his cellphone on a social call.

The Store Manager would have responded to her sooner, but he was too busy texting someone...
