Sentence: Amy had been planning to attend law school in the Fall, but after spending some time with actual lawyers during her internship, she began having doubts. Ha. Doubt is actually not the best way to describe it. It was more like a qualmflash--she suddenly saw the connection between all the uneasy feelings that had striken her during the semester; she would never be comfortable with the mores governing a law firm.

Pronunciation: ban-sab-at-er

Sentence: Sarah was so close to tying the knot with her darling John. If only her evil nemesis cousin hadn't turned up to the reading of the banns waving a copy of Sarah's current marriage certificate. I mean, she and Trevor hadn't seen each other for ages: it was a divorce in all but name. Couldn't her stupid bannsaboteur relative see that? And where was John, anyway?

Etymology: banns (public notice of forthcoming marriage) + saboteur (one who commits an act of destruction)
