Sentence: Jimmy was full of excitement about Christmas and had no care for money saving, so set out masteriscarding like mad.

Etymology: Mastercard+is, which shows the master is the card (master/is/card), which is like being a zombie, controlled by the credit card. 'Is' also makes the master the credit card owner, going crazy and carding (carding is using a credit card master/is/carding).

Pronunciation: store-per

Sentence: A state of deep storpor had been induced among the shoppers. They were defeated. The cheery elves and the bawling infants, the fluorescent lights and grotesque displays, the relentless rasping tannoy urging them to 'buy before it's gone', had triumphed. The shoppers dully storpored out their pin codes, vainly attempting to salvage some vestige of self-purpose.

Etymology: store + torpor (a state of motor and mental inactivity with a partial suspension of sensibility)

Pronunciation: wee - spree - stings

Sentence: Everyone in Stan's family wanted a Wii game system. As he went from store to store trying to find them, he realized that they were in short supply and cost $250.00 each. After that, he found he needed to add controllers and games in order to make them "playable". He was laying out $500.00 for each person and putting extreme mileage on his car, not to mention the time he was spending. As he tried to stay in a festive mood, he started to sing Carols as he drove all over the city. One of his new favorites became "This Wiispreestings, all day in my car, buying gifts, I travel afar. Sears and Nordstom, Best Buy and Walmart followed by the nearest bar."

Etymology: Wii (Nintendo Wii, popular video game system) Spree (engage without restraint in an activity and indulge, as when shopping) Stings (cause sharp or stinging pains or discomfort)
