Pronunciation: hate rah deee

Sentence: I went to an upscale mall to buy a desk and chair from Pottery Barn. So I went up to a guy standing at a counter right below the chair I wanted and asked him if he could help me. He looked up over the magazine he was reading and in a snotty tone told me I could place a special order at any register. He was such a hatere'd and so surly from me asking him for help. I looked back at him a bit aghast and said "Ewww. You are in your forties and work in the mall. Don't care that it's Short Hills Mall, you still work in the mall." He was the perfect example of a hatere'd.

Etymology: maitre'd + hate. Actual spelling should be hatere'd - but rules of game wouldn't allow it - so i changed it a bit for the header.

Pronunciation: chīdandsēk

Sentence: After the hazard warning by Consumer Reports the job of the Customer Disservice Representatives is to do their best to shift the blame for problems back on to customers. With a technique they call chideandseek, they admonish callers for not following the overly-complicated owners manual that includes such sage wisdom as using safety goggles and chain-mail gloves when using any sharp product. If guilt does*t work, the trump card is to suggest that they are passing the call to a supervisor. Of course, all this does is put them back into the maze of a phone tree system.

Etymology: chide (scold or rebuke) + hide-and-seek (a children*s game in which one player tries to find other players who have hidden themselves)

Pronunciation: ku-stom-a-fa-ser

Sentence: The customeffacer ridiculed the client for being to cheap to buy a brand-name power tool with a 5-year warranty.

Etymology: from "customer" as well as "custom" since the customeffacer must create custom insults for individual situations. Also from the word efface, which obliterates all the joy the customer believed to have found in the "bargain."
