Pronunciation: /ay-need-mahy-speys/

Sentence: Although everything worked great when she'd first connected it, and Sheila's laptop was now only a year old, lately it had been experiencing performance problems, and even more frustrating, it would often suffer from memory errors and forget her preferences. She was now disenchanted with the relationship — a classic case of Ineedmyspace.

Etymology: Compound word: "I need my space" - common statement used in troubled relationships; and a pun on 'MySpace' - the social networking website.

I'm sure glad you put the etymology cause this dummy thought it was a typo and was a combo with zygotes in it ... more laughter ... at my ignorance. Kudos, to all who use the uncommon, for I am learning new words from you along with the verboticisms. - silveryaspen, 2008-01-30: 19:39:00

Pronunciation: MAK-ruh-moh-nee

Sentence: My computer and I have a mutually macrimonious relationship. I yell, rant and rave at it because it drops off the web frequently, and it, in turn, deliberately goes slow, throws up error reports attacking my sweet disposition, good looks and computing prowess, and even interrupts my verbotomizing by initiating unnecessary MacAfee updates. One day it's gonna be all too much and I will end our relationship by launching a deadly macattack. Maybe I'll macerate it in Macassar oil, aim a sharp blow to its macula and send it off to the IT graveyard way out yonder in the macrocosm. That should do the trick.

Etymology: MAC: computer. ACRIMONY: sharpness, harshness, or bitterness of nature, speech, disposition.
