Pronunciation: FUH-LAY-SEE-OH-VIS-UDGE-ISM

Sentence: Crusty yet benign, the elderly Dr Beddows explained it to me thus: We ALL exhibit, to one degree or another the self-delusional trait known as FALLACIOVISAGISM. To deny our quest for physical beauty and our desire to reclaim our youth would be to deny our very humanity.Ever since the advent of albumen-plate photography,vanity has encouraged mankind to re-touch ourselves in order to have our appearances correspond more closely with our own self-image. However, if left unchecked, this innate tendency can have undesirable, often tragic effects. Statisticians have attempted to link FALLACIOVISAGISM to the rising rate of "virtual" homicides brought on by the casual uploading of doctored portraits prevalent in the cyberdating arena. While the jury is still out on these claims, we should all be aware of the siren which lurks behind the laptop- FALLACIOVISAGISM ! Beware of "headshots"!

Etymology: FALLACIOus+VISAGE+ISM...fallacious:misleading or deceptive...visage:the face or facial expression...ism:condition resuling from an excess of something specified.

Pronunciation: ego/mis/tik/al

Sentence: Don was done with online dating services. After several blind dates he was starting to wish he was actually blind even if it meant going through life believing he WAS actually married to Cindy Crawford's double. For some reason FindMyPerfectMate.com kept matching him up with egomysticals. He was NOT a fan of mysteries, OR horror shows!

Etymology: Ego: An inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others. Mystery: something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained.

It should be. She has borrowed almost all her features from top models. There is a portion of one nostril that remains from her original photo. Most of her **real world** friends haven\'t signed up for her facebook page because they don*t recognize her.

Etymology: prissy (fussily and excessively respectable) + pristine (in its original condition; unspoiled)
