COMMENTS:

Just for the record, I made this before I went to read the other verboticisms, so the similarity to the submission "musisolating" is coincidental. - Krixwell, 2013-09-11: 09:26:00

Pronunciation: nar sis stat tis tik

Sentence: No wonder there are so many distracted driving laws and lawsuits against people too stupid to concentrate on what they are doing and act safely. Take Penny, who merrily walked into the path of a car on the street, oblivious due to her wearing her earpads, listening to fluffy pop music. The driver of the car lost control to avoid her, flipped over and went to Heaven. Penny herself narrowly avoided becoming another narcisstatistic and still doesn't know it!

Etymology: Narcississtic (characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance) & Statistic (a datum that can be represented numerically)
