Pronunciation: stu-pid-ti-tion

Sentence: The boys at We Tappa Kegga fraternity house practiced stupidtition when it came to partying and had the motto of "Stupid is as stupid does."

Since they spent all their time killing off their brain cells with beer parties, they were the only students to leave school dumber than when they started.

Etymology: stupid: tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes + repetitition: repeating "Stupid is as stupid does" is a line from the movie Forrest Gump.

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.
