Superemokinesis

Created by: Bulletchewer

Pronunciation: soo-per-ee-mo-ki-nee-sis

Sentence: Using the power of superkinesis, she transfered the weight of the world to her best friend.

Etymology: From "kinesis" meaning movement, "emo" as the emotions are being transferred, and "super" is perhaps ironic, but could be from "superficial" as such an act hardly involves deep thought. Also a play on Freud's "superego".
