Sentence: Lolita was so pushcentric that she just went nuts if anyone else pushed the buttons. In the elevator, if someone else got there first, she pushed it too. It became complicated if she was playing a game where someone had to hit a timer button. When she was at her mom's house for dinner and mom hit the oven timer, Lolita pushed it too. She ended up in Therapy and diagnosed as a buttonphrenic with a hint of repressed anger...

Etymology: egocentric (selfcentered, push, centric (centered on)

Sentence: The guy that just pushed the glowing "Ground floor" button in the lift was suffering from some major redundation.

Etymology: From the words "reduntant" and "retardation". Performingly a stupidly pointless act, such as pushing an elevator button that has clearly already been selected.

Sentence: Rick became enraged when he thought I was intentionally trying to oppress his need to obpress the buttons in the elevator. I didn't realize that me standing infront of the control panel would send him into such a tizzy. What made it worse was the twenty-three story ride in the small enclosed elevator and listening to him rant about how he needs to press the button. I am not sure whether to be sorry for him or appalled by his childish tantrum.

Etymology: obsession + press (a play on the word oppress)= obpress
