Remadonna

Created by: jadenguy

Pronunciation: ree ma don na

Sentence: She'd remadonna every day between, "I'm too good for him," and, "Why is he with me? He could do so much better!" He knew that’s exactly where she was at, and exactly what he needed. Casual flirts and disinterested sighs kept her interested. He didn’t like it, but she’d find a really abusive relationship elsewhere.

Etymology: re- + prima donna
