Enterfearance

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: en ter feer ants

Sentence: Since Edward had married Maria, a girl who came from a large Italian family, they had had no privacy. To save money, they lived in her parents' large home, along with Maria's married sisters, brothers, their spouses and all their bambinis. Edward could put up with the noise (no one talked quietly, they all shouted at the same time) and he could put up with their involvement in any decisions he and Maria made as a couple. (What do you mean, you are noa going to buy a nice Italian-made car?? Are you crazy? We will all come and help you pick it out!) His romance with a lovely senorina had turned into My Big Fat Italian Wedding! The one aspect Edward could not handle was the enterfearance...no one knocked before storming into their bedroom...often at the most innopportune and embarrassing times. Edward finally told Maria that the only thing that would help their love life was olive oil. Puzzled, Maria could not figure out how this could help, until she saw him slathering the doorknob with it. Yes, that should keep them all out! And it was a good old-fashioned Italian cure!

Etymology: Enter (become a participant; be involved in;to come or go into;be or play a part of or in) & Fear (be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event;an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger) & Interference (intervening in the affairs of others;
