Verboticisms

Pronunciation: ream-DUN-dant

Sentence: Tom asked Carol to print out his email, fax copies to the field office and make reamdundant copies of the faxed copy for the office files. Carol considered Tom's faxation to be just a small sample of his neurotronic diskorder. faxation = a complete misunderstanding of how faxes work (believing that the original is somehow magically sent to the other location). neurotronic diskorder = ascribing physical properties and attributes to digital files (degrading condition, "originals", organization, etc.)

Etymology: ream (a measure of quantity for paper[500 sheets]) + (re)dundant; fax + (fix)ation; neuro(tic )+ (elect)tronic; disk + (dis)order

Pronunciation: kop pee us ness

Sentence: Mimi O'Graf drove her boss, Savya Treez, crazy because she printed off everything that came through her e-mail...even things sent to her by mistake. She was suffering from a bad case of copyiousness and to try and curb her fetish, Savya denied her request for another filing cabinet. Mimi already had four of them and she'd only worked there a year. "Mimi", she said, "You are going to have to go through all those files and purge the unimportant. The whole point of us going paperless was to have less paper around!" Said Mimi, "But, Boss, if I have to waste time reading all the old e-mails, I will get behind in printing off the new ones!" "That's it, Mimi!" said Savya, "I am calling the producers of "Intervention" and "Hoarders" to get you some help!!!"

Etymology: Copy (a reproduction of a written record) & Copiousness (the property of a more than adequate quantity or supply)
