Pronunciation: Deep-dish-funk

Sentence: Megan rolled over, hit the snooze button, and began to roll into the cool part of the pillow when she noticed the pizza box still behind the clock from last night's "discussion" with Andy, and she thought about how great a greasy cold slice of triple Italian sausage would be right now, so she flipped the lid up on the box, only to discover the orange drainage amalgam of sausage grease and pizza sauce, but nary a remaining slice, and decided that she would have to start the day in a deepdishfunk.

Etymology: Deep dish: a common reference to Sicilian or Chicago-style pizza that is cooked in a deep pizza pan + Funk: an emotional frame of mind a few steps further than the common malaise.

Pronunciation: dämə nō môr

Sentence: Alvin was having a bout of remorsel. One moment he felt like the king of pies. The next he was Dominomore. He was so busy watching the game that he didn't pay attention to the fact that he was scarfing down the final slice. He usually took a moment savor the last bite but now it was gone. He tried to make himself feel better by picking off a mushroom that was stuck on the lid but it didn't help. All that he was left with was a cold, heartless slab of cardboard.

Etymology: Domino (Pizza brand) + no more (nothing further)

Pronunciation: pēt'sə-point'mənt

Sentence: Even though Sean had forked out four dollars for his share of the pizza he and the guys had ordered to eat during halftime, he'd chosen a bad time to visit the bathroom, and when he returned, the only thing he found was a box full of pizzapointment. He just sat there staring at the grease stains on the cardboard, utterly crustfallen.

Etymology: pizza (Italian, var. pitta - a flatbread) + disappointment - to fail to fulfill expectations (fr. late Middle English/French, desappointer)

Pronunciation: crust-fall-en

Sentence: Jeremy came in hungry after canvassing in nearby neighborhoods all morning. He was crustfallen when he went through not one, not two, not 17, but all 23 pizza boxes at the campaign volunteer center only to find some picked-off olives and crumpled-up napkins. So crustfallen was he that he stripped off his candidate flair and defected to the other candidate, who did not have as many volunteers but had way more pizza.

Etymology: Crestfallen: "Sad because of a recent disappointment" altered to incorporate crust, as in pizza crust.
