Pronunciation: syoo-do-vi-ral-troo-en-see
Sentence: Once or twice a year Doug would call up his boss and scare the living daylights out of him with some story of a super infectious virus. This was in order to get a day off for hiking in the mountains when a good head-clearing was called for. On the whole, though, he was a very conscientious member of the workforce so the only thing one could really accuse him of was a little psuedoviraltruancy.
Etymology: psuedo + viral + truancy
