Pronunciation: fie-DELL-pit-tee

Sentence: After the 22nd time Mark's father had died in under two years, Dana realized she had to turn a deaf ear to his desperate pleas for fidelpity. She stormed out of his apartment, slamming the door behind her. Mark sat motionless on the couch, until he heard tires squealing away from the building. He stood, slowly, and walked to the bedroom. He strapped his right arm to his torso using an Ace bandage, carefully slipped into the Vietnam era Army fatigues he'd bought at the surplus store, and carefully applied the mohair mustache with spirit gum. After gently easing the wheelchair into the trunk, he headed to the Peppermint Hippo for a night of free lapdances.

Etymology: fidelity + pity

Surprising etymology! Now I know that mit came from mitleid ... but I thought leid was a play on layed ... and freude was a play on fraud and Freud! Didn't know what to make of the cousins! (chuckling) Kudos for your ingenuity! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-20: 02:35:00

Wunderbar! Great approach to create your verboticism. Makes me think of german words with a "toe-hold" in English, such as: "weltschmer" & "sprachgeful". - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-20: 16:41:00
