Disstract

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: dis trakt

Sentence: When Sonya's boyfriend, Skippy, was "in the mood" and Sonya wasn't,which was often, she'd put him off by trying to disstract him. She'd complain about his breath, his hygiene, the fact that he never took her out or bought her nice things. By the time she was done, his ardor was cooled as surely as if she had thrown ice water over him. He never did figure out that this disstraction was the antidote to Viagra.

Etymology: Diss (treat, mention, or speak to rudely) & Distract (draw someone's attention away from something)
