Pronunciation: post/itch

Sentence: Lea was sure she was finally on top of things. Feeling so organized and up to date on all of her errands, paperwork, phone calls etc. Things that were not done yet, were in line and in order for when she had the time. Now that she was free she invited Tony over to her place for the first time. She was devastated when he took just a few steps in, looked around and said, "Oh man, dude...you've got the worst case of Postitch I've ever seen, and I haven't been vaccinated!" Needless to say, after he said, "See ya when I see ya," she stood there "scratching her head" in disbelief, then made a note to herself "Google Postitch" and stuck it on the fridge.

Etymology: Post-It Itch

Pronunciation: Note area ryot tee

Sentence: To plot her, well, plot, Minerva, added ideas on sticky notes to her story board. This was her first attempt at writing a book and she found that the notes jarred her memory and helped her to focus on the progression of her writing. By the time she got to Chapter 20, her entire work cubicle area was covered in multi-colored sticky papers. Everyone laughed at her decorating skills. One day she came in to find that all the little papers had fallen to the floor in a colorful blizzard. Minerva's notearearioty came to the attention of the entire office. Her screams were heard all over the building. The book she was working on was tentatively called "Sticky Tickets -How to Keep From Becoming Unglued in Today's Business Climate".

Etymology: Note (Remnder, post-it note;memory jogger)& Area (a part of a structure having some specific characteristic or function;the extent of a 2-dimensional surface enclosed within a boundary;a subject of study) & Riot (a state of disorder;a joke that seems extremely funny) & Notoriety (the state of being known for some unfavorable act or quality)
