Pronunciation: re-eval-u-mate

Sentence: (no offense to Bob Dylan) It is not a benefit to be seated and speculate a reason, attractive young woman. It serves no useful purpose in any case. No, it is not advantageous to rest with your back and buttocks on a chair and ponder a cause for this event, young child or innocent, if you're not cognizant of it at this particular time. When the male domestic fowl makes noise in the early morning, gaze out of your window and I will have left the premises. It is because of you that I must continue to move to another place with a suitcase or some other means of carrying my belongings. Do not reevalumate, it is satisfactory.

Etymology: reevaluate: think twice + mate: spouse, companion (translation for youngn's: an adaptation of the Dylan song "Don't think twice, it's alright.")

Pronunciation: dill an chan ted

Sentence: When Sweet Marie fell out of love with Rob Fillan, her Bob Dylan wannabe boyfriend, she knew that The Times They Were A Changing. She had become dylanchented with the whole relationship because all he ever said to her were things like Lay Lady Lay and that he was Like A Rolling Stone. Writing her love songs that were actually protest anthems did little to endear Mr. Tambourine Man to her. After she booted him, she knew he was out there, Blowin' in the Wind and if there was Blood on the Tracks,he'd soon be Knock Knock Knockin' on Heaven's Door...assuming bad boys even went there.

Etymology: Dylan (Bob Dylan, singer/songwriter) & Disenchanted (freed from enchantment;no longer enchanted by someone/thing)
