Pronunciation: kool am it ee

Sentence: It wasn't that Jane wasn't fond of Bill...no, she absolutely hated him.He had started after her, for more money and she had to train him. To top that, he got a promotion and big raise that should have been hers. While she slaved away ensuring that the project was completed on time, he swanned off to join the boss for golf every Wednesday afternoon. That Bill was just schmoozing his way into the old boys' network and she was left behind to do all the work! This Wednesday things had changed, as if in answer to Jane's prayers. After the "boys" went off for their weekly golf game, a dreadful storm had blown in. At the 15th hole, Bill had been struck dead by lightening and perished. Jane's reaction, between crocodile tears, was one of coolamity...now they'd have to promote her to fill Bill's place. She liked that...her new name would be Coolamity Jane!

Etymology: Cool ( psychologically cool and unenthusiastic; unfriendly or unresponsive or showing dislike or great coolness and composure under strain) & Amity (a state of friendship and cordiality) & Calamity (an event resulting in great loss and misfortune)
