Pronunciation: tee ara thon

Sentence: After Zack and Helena watched an entire season of Toddlers and Tiaras, they were revolted, but like a messy traffic accident, could not stop looking. The tiarathon made them hate hairpieces, stage mothers/fathers, lacy bobby socks, dimples and $10,000 poofy dresses worn by tiny Southern belles, destined to become future stars on the "Housewives of CornPone Childporn, USA".

Etymology: Tiara (crown-like headpiece, diadem) & Marathon (any long and arduous undertaking; named for the ancient Greek footrace)

I'd be lying if I said that at least a little of that vote is because I have watched all the episodes of Firefly more or less all at once myself. Several times. - Osomatic, 2007-04-02: 16:32:00

No wonder they sang in such high voices :-) - petaj, 2007-04-02: 05:38:00

Probably better describes the process as opposed to the after-effects, but I still like the word enough to give it a vote. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-02: 07:24:00

Pronunciation: y-r-u-leave-ing

Sentence: Tilly was in tears. Phil had said nothing to her in the last 48 hours, apart from 'Yo, bruv' when she'd handed him a cup of tea.

Etymology: The Wire (popular TV series) + why are you leaving? (question asked of one partner by the other on the departure of the latter)
