Sentence: Eudora had been having an e-mail relationship with Dick, whom she had met on a dating website, "lonelyloserswhowant tomeetotherlonelylosers.com". He could not have been sweeter, telling all the lovely things she had ever wanted to hear. He knew a lot about her, but wanted to know more. Like where she banked (and her account number)and her daily routine. After she had told him all about herself, the e-mails slowed down and the last few she had sent him kept bouncing back as undeliverable. Naive as she was, she realized that he was losing interest rapidly and she could not even contact him. He was about to really phishappoint her more the next time she used her debit card!

Etymology: Phish (The act of sending email that falsely claims to be from a legitimate organization) & Disappoint (fail to meet the hopes or expectations of)

The last part of my sentence to read: "her emotirts grew rapidly." * Cannot save it in the sentence box???? - OZZIEBOB, 2008-07-24: 06:03:00

Think it got through now? Hope so, otherwise Roxie's may have "bounce-back" breakdown. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-07-24: 06:15:00

I keep wanting to add rig to the beginning of your word which might be appropriate - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-24: 14:16:00
