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

Malcontedant
Created by: didsbury

Sentence: I am in a hurry but the staff in this shop are all such malcontendants there is no one who will serve me.
Etymology: Combination of malcontent and attendant. First used by Mark Twain to describe a particularly slovenly, family-run restaurant he visited in Mississippi.
