Pronunciation: əˈclik shən

Sentence: PeeCee has a serious aclikshun. As much as she hates it, she just can't separate herself from her computer. She has given up eating breakfast to play some silly little online word game every morning. She was so aclikted that she has lost the ability to talk to anybody face-to-face. She tried to sign up for a computer-aclikshun class but couldn't get her calendar program to work correctly. Last weekend, while having dinner with her kids, Doc and Giffer, she placed her order by e-mail. Thank goodness for Wi-Fi. She had trouble accepting her divorce from Mac until he sent the papers to her as a .pdf file.

Etymology: addiction (the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity) + click (in computing, an act of pressing a mouse button)+ shun (persistently avoid, ignore, or reject)

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.
