Voted For: Foistaid

Created by: splendiction

Pronunciation: in ept i TOOL

Sentence: Some people are, simply put, ineptitools when faced with the job of fixing things. Even easy jobs like doing laundry baffle the ineptitool - who uses detergent in the clothes dryer. Often the ineptitool makes a situation worse by getting in the way or simply spills the paint on the carpet.

Etymology: From: inept, ineptitude and tool. Often those who are easily manipulated are referred to as “tools”. Those who are ineptitool can’t use tools, nor be put to good use themselves.

Pronunciation: over ride

Sentence: Marjie was single-minded in her efforts to win the first aid officer of the month award. To that end she had resorted to overaiding her team mates. Now every paper cut was treated with iodine and bandaging, every headache with excessive and vigorous head massage, every little bump or bruise with lashings of arnica and warnings about occupational health and safety. Their protests were ignored, their bandaids stripped off and replaced with industrial strength bandage and some had even resorted to wearing balaclavas to avoid losing their hair.

Etymology: over ride (bully, browbeat, ignore protests) + aide (one who provides assistance)

Pronunciation: huhd-RaaAaah-fit

Sentence: When Bob felt in danger of being assosinated by too much samaritanism, he would always yell loudly "Hudrafit." Perplexed, the steadfast succourist would immediately ask" What's hudrafit?" To which Bob would quickly reply: "Help Unnecessary Don't Remember Asking For IT."

Etymology: Acronym: (As set out in sentence) Assosinate: Kill with kindness by misinterpreting and/or overresponding to call of "SOS." Futhermore, my lip reading skills tells me that's the word the unfortunate fellow in the cartoon is painfully uttering. Do you all agree with me?
