Pronunciation: pro-cras-ti-whinge

Sentence: Every Monday through Friday around the water cooler, Everett loved to hear Lily and her procrastiwhinging. "We have got to stop this office gossip," Lily whined softly in his ear, "It's absolutely sinful." There was something very attractive to Everett about a woman who was a procrastiwhinger. "Oh, crikey," he groaned inwardly, "Is that thing broken again?" He had noted for the umpteenth time the drip from the little spigot. In Lily's presence it was easy to forget he was in charge of maintenance.

Etymology: from procrastinate, meaning to put off an activity, and whinge, meaning to complain

"I can't find the proper tools again," he procrastiwhinged from deep in the garage.
