I'm guessing the etymology is something like: infected + dedicated. DankJemo, did you know you get more points for including the pronunciation, sentence and etymology? Plus, you may get more votes too. - Tigger, 2008-05-07: 22:10:00

Pronunciation: sneez-BUHK-it

Sentence: SNEEZEBUCKET n A disgusting, self-centred co-worker who, when suffering from a contagious illness, refuses to leave the office and stay at home until better. Coughing, spluttering and sneezing, he suffers from the delusion that his work-ethic is much stronger than that of his colleagues, and that his importance to the organization is far greater than that of theirs also.

Etymology: Sneeze & bucket. If he's a sleazebucket to boot - look out!

Sentence: Peter was well on his way to becoming Germployee of the Month. He regularly came in to work, when he should have stayed in his sick bed. The more contagious he was, the more hours he would expose his co-workers to his nasty virulent bacterium. If he just once stayed home when he felt this way, office absenteeism would plummet. His new nickname was Peter Pandemic.

Etymology: Germ (a minute life form (especially a disease-causing bacterium) & Employee (a worker who is hired to perform a job)
