Pronunciation: e-pi-fa-need

Sentence: Nano-seconds after the cell phone call from her fiance Brian, while her carefully chosen processional music loomed from the interior of the church, Penny felt the strangest sensation. Its beginning, as her face began to flush, reminded her somewhat of the time she had taken too much niacin. Following this was the awareness that her life was not going to go as so meticulously planned. The thought-sensations, which had begun in her pineal gland, travelled down her spine and into her legs which bent immediately. Her lovely bouquet of almost-mauve roses flew from her hand. There she lay, prostrate before the stunned, but strategically assembled, wedding party. She had been ephipankneed right on the steps of the church.

Etymology: From epiphany, meaning a moment of sudden and great revelation + knee, a verb, meaning to reduce someone to a state of weakness

Pronunciation: ah wer ror ness

Sentence: We have all had that moment of awerrorness, when you just knew you had picked the wrong job or the wrong house or the wrong vehicle or the wrong person to share your life with. Marcia just had such a flash of awerrorness when her Dad walked her up the aisle to marry the love of her life, her high school sweetheart, John Brady. Even though they had been engaged forever, had 6 children together, owned a business and a big ranch home together, Marcia just knew at that very moment that life had way more to offer her than John could provide. Sure he was reliable, steady, a solid rock and oh so boring. She was after all a still vibrant and attractive 29 year old, with unfulfilled passions and ambitions. There were still places to visit, although John never wanted to leave the farm. There were still adventures to have, although John did not believe that life was meant to be lived in an exciting manner. Seeing her change in demeanour, her father squeezed her arm and whispered to her out of the side of his smiling mouth: "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...wake up from your daydream and smile...many girls would love to become a member of the Brady Bunch!"

Etymology: Awe {an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight)} & Awareness (having knowledge of) & Error (a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention;inadvertent incorrectness; a misconception resulting from incorrect information )

Pronunciation: SIS i fuk

Sentence: It was 3am. Somehow, the warning "This Action Cannot Be Undone" failed to penetrate. In one sisyphuc, by clicking "Revert to Saved," John effectively erased half of his thesis.

Etymology: From the myth of Sisyphus, forced eternally to roll the same big rock up the same big hill. Clayton's comment inspired me to alter the word (from sisyphstant) - not sure about the ethics of such a move, but we could consider it etymological evolution?

COMMENTS:

Hard to pronounce, but Camus would be proud. - Clayton, 2007-05-17: 15:50:00

sisyphuc would be easier to say, wouldn't it? And perhaps more expressive. - cohenarie, 2007-05-17: 17:03:00

Nice one. Just glad for the ph spelling instead of f. - texmom, 2007-05-18: 07:26:00
