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.

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.
