Pronunciation: STUN-ruhn

Sentence: Although Bruce was fortified with a triple king-sized coffee and a fistful of No-doze, he was not looking forward to the morning STUNRUN. Reading was out of the question... the last time he tried that, he woke up at the end of the line with creases on his face. As he watched the bleak byways of industrial desolation crawl by, he remembered a STUNRUN he took a while back. Catching himself in a commuter's REM state, he hastily got off at the wrong stop and found himself in an unfinished, uninhabited proto-terminal in the Hackensack Marshlands. He wore out his patent leather Florsheim shoes that grim day just walking back to the fringes of civilization, and he wasn't eager to repeat that particular nighmare anytime soon. Getting home at the end of the day was bad enough, but the morning STUNRUN was just marginally more fun than a bone marrow transplant. And today was only MONDAY!

Etymology: STUN+RUN=STUNRUN.....stun: to make senseless, groggy, or dizzy by or as if by repeated blows-Middle English stonen, stunen, from Anglo-French estoner .....run: the distance covered in a period of continuous traveling or commuting b: a course or trip especially if traveled with regularity-

Sentence: He was a coma, comacommuter, with ipod in his ears and abstracted kind of sneer. He had no idea, he'd gone past central, he just blankly stared ahead, fellow travellers thought him dead.

Etymology: Sung to the tune of Copa Copacabana. You all know what a coma is, and what a commuter is.

His name was Rico, he worked for Ricoh, but that was four years ago when he used to have a job. Now it's a commute but not for Rico, he just rides around all days in a transitory daze... - Nosila, 2010-01-28: 09:15:00

Pronunciation: home/a/tose

Sentence: Once again Ling ended up right where he started. Thanks to the piped in elevator music on the bus which always induced a homatose state, he had gone full circle and found himself waking to the bus driver shouting, "Hey you back there! End of the line!" Three nights a week he not only missed dinner, but ended up wasting money on cab fare AND flowers!

Etymology: Home + Comatose
