Pronunciation: spin-AG-lay-ikes

Sentence: After consuming several bottles of fine New Jersy wine, Tommy savored the intimate caress of the cool floor tiles and realized that he WASN'T going to die just yet. When his glasses de-fogged, he checked the "sent" folder on his laptop and the SPINAGEYIKES gripped him like the angry fist of an ourang-outang. Giselle would certainly never speak to him again, his co-workers would treat him like a leper on the morrow, and his boss would NEVER let him take a week off work to go to that wordsmith festival in the desert. Trembling with SPINAGLEYIKES, Tommy realized that his best career option might be to: cut the soles off his shoes, live in a cave and learn to play the nose flute.

Etymology: SPIN+AGLEY+yIKES=SPINAGLEYIKES..........SPIN:to revolve rapidly,gyrate,to feel as if in a whirl,reel,to move swiftly especially on or as if on wheels or in a vehicle from hell,to fall in a spin,to plunge helplessly and out of control;Middle English spinnen, from Old English spinnan; akin to Old High German spinnan to spin and perhaps to Lithuanian spęsti to set (a trap).....AGLEY:chiefly Scottish, awry ,terribly wrong (the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley);Scots, from 1a- + gley to squint.....YIKES: exclamation,used to express fear or astonishment; probably alteration of yoicks (origin kind of blurry)
