Pronunciation: kop pee us ness

Sentence: Mimi O'Graf drove her boss, Savya Treez, crazy because she printed off everything that came through her e-mail...even things sent to her by mistake. She was suffering from a bad case of copyiousness and to try and curb her fetish, Savya denied her request for another filing cabinet. Mimi already had four of them and she'd only worked there a year. "Mimi", she said, "You are going to have to go through all those files and purge the unimportant. The whole point of us going paperless was to have less paper around!" Said Mimi, "But, Boss, if I have to waste time reading all the old e-mails, I will get behind in printing off the new ones!" "That's it, Mimi!" said Savya, "I am calling the producers of "Intervention" and "Hoarders" to get you some help!!!"

Etymology: Copy (a reproduction of a written record) & Copiousness (the property of a more than adequate quantity or supply)
