Pronunciation: ob-pres-sive

Sentence: Kate's obpressive-compulsive personality disorder was manifested by a need to push elevator buttons. However, since she was also a germaphobe, she kept hand sanitizer and a pack of Clorox wipes in her purse to disinfect the button first in case there was swine flu or any strange viruses that may have been left by the last person to press it. This activity, once a source of contempt, was welcomed by her coworkers during flu season since she also needed to disinfect everything else she touched.

Etymology: wondplay on obsessive-compulsive: a strong psychological obsession on an activity, individual or object; a neurotic need to perform a particular activity, sometimes excessively or ritually.
