Reprifoonery

Created by: Guest

Pronunciation: Rep Ri Foon err ree

Sentence: Marianne was put on probation after her supervisor caught her mocking him in an act of ridiculous reprifoonery on his desk.

Etymology: Derived from the words "repremand" which is what happens in this case, and "buffoonery" which is really what you are doing....... with a shadow double-entendre of "reprehensible" and hinting that your boss is a "baffoon".
