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)

Etymology: ick (exclamation used to express strong distaste or disgust) + marathon (a long-lasting or difficult task or operation of a specified kind)
