Sentence: Ralph is always looking for the perfect parking spot. He is constantly seeking curbvana. Like a vulture circling some roadside carrion he will stalk shoppers as they returned to the parking lot.

Etymology: curb (a stone or concrete edging to a street or path) + nirvana (a state of perfect happiness; an ideal or idyllic place)

Sentence: She was spiralyzing in the parking lot, a lot. A lot of spiralyzing was going on today in the parking lot. In the end she was totally spiralyzed.

Etymology: paralyzed + spiral = spiralyzing. why ? because in the end you are paralyzed while moving round in circles. maybe you would have been faster by taking the next best parking-place and walk the rest ? no spiralyzing, no fun.
