Pronunciation: com para so nar

Sentence: Melissa's comparisonar was working overtime. She could sense when her whines would get her the much needed attention she craved. Her comparisonar could send out signals for 20 feet over a crowded room that said, "I can't help it, my beauty is such a curse, I'd rather be fat, ugly and poor!" "Yeah, right, Melissa", thought her friend, Didi, "Careful what you wish for, because time, gravity and having a mortgage, 3 kids and a cheating husband will give you your wish"!

Etymology: comparison (examining differences) & sonar (a measuring device)

I think Didi's getting ready to 'ping' Melissa right in the nose. Ditto to what silveryaspen wrote.
