Pronunciation: dĭt-ō-lōō'-zhən

Sentence: Marlene's desk simply could not handle the weight -- it wasn't built to handle that type of load. Due to her technophrenia, and her compulsion to actually handle these apparently invisible files everyone kept telling her were stored inside her computer, she would print out every single e-mail and add it to the growing stacks, forming a 'literal fort' inside her cubicle. It's obvious that she's suffering from a dittolusion, and her desk finally paid the price.

Etymology: ditto (a duplicate or copy) + delusion (a false belief in spite of invalidating evidence).

Sentence: "But it will get lost in the ethers of cyberspace, which is only a fantasy world after all," grumbled Kyle when his boss told him he'd have to pay for the paper he used if he kept on substantialating his email messages. "At least this way I have something I can hold on to. Email messages aren't really real - You don't even have to be a magician to make them disappear. Look at this," he continued, nodding towards the stack of papers that were bowing him down," I can touch these...pant...pant...pant."

Etymology: substantial - solid, heavy, and real. substantiate - to verify that something is indeed something.

Pronunciation: my kro hard off fen siff

Sentence: When she was in school, long ago, Millie learned that computers (or machines that did your talking and thinking for you) were something out of science fiction. Trying to not feel like a dinosaur on a space station, she had dutifully taken all the computer courses her company had offered. She managed most programs with good efficiency, but one aspect dogged her progress in the company. It was noted that she always printed off absolutely everything that she received or sent over the computer. In a paperless society, she had managed to accrue more paper files than anyone else. It was said she had a microhardoffensive disorder...she had a compulsion to print out everything, not trusting the memory or hard drive of the systems her company used. It was a touch of irony that when the BIG CRASH came and wiped out all primary and back-up systems, that the management came to Millie to get her paper files in order to rebuild and salvage their records!

Etymology: Microhard (as opposed to Microsoft,the computer giant) & Hard (not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure)also Hard (as in hard copy...a printed version of something on screen) & offensive (unpleasant or disgusting especially to the senses)
