Fatemail

Created by: TJayzz

Pronunciation: Fay-t-mayel

Sentence: Derek woke up to a very uneasy feeling of fatemail the morning after the office christmas party.

The worst thing was he told everyone his boss was an overbearing tyrant who only got the job because his father was a managing director of the company, he knew it wouldn't be long before he got to read this statement so he vowed that as soon as he sobered up he would go out and buy the paper and look through the situations vacant pages.

Etymology: Fate(the inevitable outcome of a person's life) + email(electronic mail) = Fatemail

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /sai-BOO-zuhld/

Sentence: Jack had written a note to himself, "Don't drink and e-mail" on his sticky-note pad, which he had apparently been using as a beer coaster, but the next morning as he perused his 'Sent' folder and saw the e-mail to his boss, calling him a "sissyboy", he knew he'd cyboozeled himself out of another job.

Slurrealisation

Created by: emdeejay

Pronunciation: slur realise ayshun

Sentence: Samuel, or "Shixpack Shammy" as he was known to his colleagues was a troubled young lad. His entire life the world and people in particular seemed daft to him. Every day he woke to a prison of mediocrity and banality, where 'unreasonable' people refused to bend to suit his narcissistic views. Unable to stand the incessant anxiety, Sam escaped each evening to the comforts of drunken stupor; a slurrealistic realm where he was king. One evening after a particularly unproductive day of pointless meetings Sam snapped. He downed a case of his favourite lager, opened his laptop, and began to compose. He cajoled his colleagues, belittled his boss, and flummoxed his friends. Finally, exhausted and relieved, he collapsed upon his keyboard and drooled himself to sleep. The next day as he commuted, Sam opened his curiously sticky laptop and had a gut wrenching slurrealisation.

Etymology: "Slur": (a) A nasty statement directed at someone you dislike. (b) The chaotic cadence inherent in the speech of inebriated humans. "Realisation": The curious sensation felt when something new occurs to you. "Surreal": That's like, totally surreal man
