Obloveous
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: ob luv ee us
Sentence: Bertrand was so obloveous, he failed to notice the admiring looks and attentiveness of his assistant, Wanda. He was a chemical scientist, whose right side of the brain had apparently been gripped too tight by the forceps at birth. He lived for chemical equations, experiments and reactions. She was the faithful, undemanding, caring nerd-girl with a huge IQ and stellar academic career. One day she decided to change her looks and get his under-developed attention once and for all. Some clever cosmetics to bring out her pretty face, a trip to the salon, contact lenses, a new flashy wardrobe and a resultant new sense of confidence turned Wanda from a shy lab-rat into a comic-book heroine. Bertrand knew something was afoot when he walked into work and his thick glasses immediately fogged up (a reaction). Suddenly, the table of elements and properties of inert gases no longer held the same attraction they once did. The new equation featured Wanda in his every thought. He found himself studying the romance poets for inspiration and sprucing up his own physical appearance to be worthy of her attention (an experiment). For the first time in his life, he knew what chemistry between consenting adults really meant.
Etymology: oblivious (failing to notice the obvious;forgetful, inattentive, unmindful of something) & Love (any object of warm affection or devotion;a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction)
