Pronunciation: for ever ber ans

Sentence: Baseball had not been very, very good to Joe. He waited patiently for the perfect pitch. He should switch, he'd never get rich, he made others twitch, he'd get jock-itch, there was always a glitch and many thought that the hitch was because he was under the spell of a witch. But Joe had foreverbearance. Most people thought he should play hockey and be satisfied being a Toronto Maple Leaf instead. Afterall he'd be in good company waiting for a Stanley Cup win since 1967!

Etymology: Forever (for a limitless time) & Forbearance (good-natured tolerance of delay)
