Pronunciation: rēdoōfəs

Sentence: Eric is a redoofus. He doesn*t mean to make the same mistakes over and over. It*s just that he is a very habitual person. Once he has goofed twice, he has developed a reflex. Even when he has time to ponder a decision, he overthinks it and usually corrects the correction back to the error.

Etymology: redo (do something again or differently) + doofus (a stupid person)

Pronunciation: DEE cor ridg ib ul

Sentence: It's not often that we get to stare into the Sun and feel good about it after, and this certainly wasn't one of those times for Darian. His decorrigibility still astounded his brother on new levels, his rIcarus feat less successful with the assistance of plexiglass eyewear.

Etymology: de + corrigible de is pretty obvious. i picked corrigable, because i think that once you've made the mistake, you can learn from it, but then you unlearn from it and commit it again, so that's how you know it's stupid even when you repeat it.
