Narcisspicuous

Created by: ziggy41

Pronunciation: Nar-sis-spik-yoo-iss

Sentence: My friend is so Narcisspicuous. Every day she asks "Do I look fat?" and she is 30 lbs. underweight so I say "no", of course. Except one day I said "yes", she cried first and then ran to the bathroom... I guess to brush her teeth because weird gurgling noises kept me up all night.

Etymology: Narcissist (love of oneself) + conspicuous (clearly visible)
