Sentence: Elaine heard there was an opening for a donrickles at her neighborhood Y. It was in the psychology department three nights a week. All she had to do was show up at the "Who Stole My Self-Esteem" meetings and pretty much be herself. She decided it was perfect for two reasons. One, it was part-time and her nights were free, and two, she always considered herself a "people person."

Etymology: Don Rickles: Became known as an insult comedian by learning to respond to hecklers.
