Sentence: Delilah was a tall, blond, blue-eyed beauty, and secretly, Christina couldn't stand her. It wasn't really Delilah's attractiveness that she hated ― it was more because she seemed to take it all for granted. She would complain about any slight percieved imperfection to anyone kind enough to listen, and sacrificialwhine on and on about things like 'having a bad-hair-day' and that she was going to have to cancel her date because of it. Christina would have just been glad to have a date at all... She just sighed to herself and pretended to nod sympathetically as Delilah now went on about how she couldn't find a bra to properly show off her considerable cleavage with her new dress.

Etymology: blend of, Sacrificial wine - wine used in various religions as a holy offering (from Latin, sacrificium "sacred rite" & vinum "of the vine") + Whine - (Old English, hwinan "to whistle through the air"; like the sound of many arrows)

Pronunciation: Me me cry

Sentence: Gemma dreaded this part, the part of the evening when some idiot asked Joanne how she was. There was almost an audible pause in the hubbub of conversation in the room as the collective consciousness of those present registered the newcomers' error. And there was the indrawing of breath before the compliment-begging whine, how bad she was at her job, how fat she felt, how hard-done-by she was by all those people who took advantage of her sooo generous nature. It was not long before the party moved onto the balcony despite the cold outside. "Right, if he does that again, nobody invite that guy to the christmas party." said David, joining Gemma at the railing. "Nevermind him, why don't we just not invite the source of all that memecry?"

Etymology: Me, me it's all about ME! My life is so terrible and no-body loves me, if someone doesn't compliment me I think I'll cry! Mimicry - pretense or acting to benefit onesself; "playing" the victim..

Pronunciation: com para so nar

Sentence: Melissa's comparisonar was working overtime. She could sense when her whines would get her the much needed attention she craved. Her comparisonar could send out signals for 20 feet over a crowded room that said, "I can't help it, my beauty is such a curse, I'd rather be fat, ugly and poor!" "Yeah, right, Melissa", thought her friend, Didi, "Careful what you wish for, because time, gravity and having a mortgage, 3 kids and a cheating husband will give you your wish"!

Etymology: comparison (examining differences) & sonar (a measuring device)
