Fibbage

Created by: artr

Pronunciation: fibij

Sentence: It was common in the college town he grew up in for high schoolers to try to pass themselves off as college students. Wendell was never very successful at it. Maybe it was the way his voice cracked every time he got excited or the complete lack of facial or body hair. Perhaps it was that someone had seen his mother drop him off. Whatever the case, his fibbage would always be revealed. To make matters worse, girls would often not believe he was even in high school.

Etymology: fib (a lie, typically an unimportant one) + age (the length of time that a person has lived)
