Pronunciation: trishkəmpaktər
Sentence: Patty thought her Smart car was a great idea when she first ordered it. Now, every time she looks at it, it seems to get smaller. It's even worse when she gets in and drives it anywhere. Wedged between a couple of 18-wheelers, it becomes a real Trishcompactor. Her 250-pound friend Noah refers to his as his Noahconstrictor.
Etymology: Trish (nickname for Patricia) + compactor (a device that compresses trash)

Maybe Trish & Noah should carpool. It might bring them closer.
