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.

Pronunciation: men day shus pawz

Sentence: When the kiddies in her office gave Joan a surprise birthday party, it gave her a mendaciouspause to see they had gotten the right amount of candles on her cake. She'd been 29 as long as she had worked there, for over 20 years. How did they guess she wondered? She had been very careful at disguising her true age...hair died dark chocolate brown, wrinkle creams galore, wearing trendy, youthful clothes, etc. What Joan did not know was that the kiddies weren't blind...they'd seen her taking Geritol breaks, wearing support hose, having hot flashes and most tellingly, they'd seen the big box of Depends in her bottom desk drawer...damn those tv commercials she thought!

Etymology: Mendacious (intentionally untrue;given to lying) & Menopause (time in a woman's later life when her fertility ends)

She was aging twenty years before their very eyes! Such is the eerie phenomenon of fibrillagetion.

Etymology: Blend of fib, age, rage, and fibrillations (Fine, rapid twitching of individual muscle fibers with little or no movement of the muscle as a whole.)
