Tizzleaboutomy

Created by: emdeejay

Pronunciation: tizzle about a me

Sentence: Despite being a rather fetching looking girl, Jemima's self esteem was always a little on the low side. When a conversation turned to negative things, she always found a way to make a self deprecating remark.

Unfortunately though Jemima's friends were flattered out sick of it; they wanted to give her a Tizzleaboutomy.

Etymology: Tizzle: silly lie or other hogwash. Aboutomy: as in 'abouta me' - tis all abouta me!
