Pronunciation: gahn-AIR-uh-kwest

Sentence: Dorian began his GONERAQUEST one gray evening when he got spammed by Classmates.com...first he had to ressurectify their names from the dim recesses of his faulty membanks. Using Anywho and Google, he reanimated the memories of his troubled youth and e-mailed the lot. All the yammering yokels of yesteryear were at the reunion, including his old crush, Peggy- whose orange hair erupted like a lava flow from a long-dormant volcano. Quickly quaffing quantities of questionable punch, a dismayed Dorian deduced that his GONERAQUEST had gone awfully awry. It all came rushing back to him like a hot kiss at the end of a wet fist. He never really liked these people in high school, and the years had not been kind to them as they ripened into paunchy portraits of their former selves. Dorian schlumped home and took a fatal dose of repentathol - never to GONERAQUEST again.

Etymology: GONe+ERA+QUEST=GONERAQUEST.....GONE:possessed with a strong attachment or a foolish or unreasoning love or desire-from past participle of go.....ERA:fixed point in time from which a series of years is reckoned; a memorable or important date or event; especially : a period in the history of a person-Late Latin aera, from Latin, counters.....QUEST:an act or instance of seeking; a chivalrous enterprise in medieval romance usually involving an adventurous journey and an alcohol-drenched pseudofestival -Middle English, from Anglo-French queste.
