Verboticisms

Pronunciation: ream-DUN-dant

Sentence: Tom asked Carol to print out his email, fax copies to the field office and make reamdundant copies of the faxed copy for the office files. Carol considered Tom's faxation to be just a small sample of his neurotronic diskorder. faxation = a complete misunderstanding of how faxes work (believing that the original is somehow magically sent to the other location). neurotronic diskorder = ascribing physical properties and attributes to digital files (degrading condition, "originals", organization, etc.)

Etymology: ream (a measure of quantity for paper[500 sheets]) + (re)dundant; fax + (fix)ation; neuro(tic )+ (elect)tronic; disk + (dis)order

Sentence: Xena,the Printses Warrior, lived in eternal fearox that all her electronic files would be wiped out, so she printed out copies of everything that came through her computer. She requested a bigger office but was miffed when her boss refused. Xena's argument that she needed more storage space for her print-outs fell on deaf ears. Her boss cited paper costs and space shortage as reasons to reduce her paper files. Her viewpoint was further proven when a fire started in the piles of paper Xena had stored behind her desk. Thanks to her, now none of them has any records, or jobs either!

Etymology: Fear (paranoia;afraid) & Xerox (duplicator that copies graphic matter by the action of light on an electrically charged photoconductive insulating surface in which the latent image is developed with a resinous powder)
