Sentence: When he saw her pink electronic device, Kenny had an attack of inflappuation. Like a magpie obsessed with shiny things, he was attracted to all things from cyber space. So bemused was he that he failed to notice Wendy's "device" was actually her container of Secret deodorant. That is why it is strong enough for a man, but made for a woman!

Etymology: Infatuation (an object of extravagant short-lived passion) & App (short for application...a program that gives a computer instructions that provide the user with tools to accomplish a task)
