Pronunciation: sub doo fuss

Sentence: Earl thought his vigilance in keeping his daughter, Mona, locked up was a way of saving her from herself and all the evils in the world. But he was actually a subduefuss and his obsessive overprotectiveness forced her to rebel and run away. Yes, tired of the suppressive lifestyle her father led as an ex-con biker carnival worker, Mona ran off at the tender age of 29 to become a librairian and church choir member. Earl's street cred took a dive!

Etymology: subdue (hold within limits/controls) & doofus (person with poor judgment) & fuss (worry about too much)
