thanks for the enthusiasm - Javeson1, 2007-04-02: 14:23:00

Doesn't really fit the definition. Euphoria is far from unpleasant. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-02: 18:12:00

How about if it was pronounced eeyeutwentyfouria sounding like that response from teenagers when they see something yucky. - petaj, 2007-04-02: 22:50:00

hah even though it doesn't exactly fit the defination its still a good one to describe the state one is in if one watches the entire season of a really GOOD show and is in a GOOD daze - ekath, 2007-04-04: 00:31:00

Pronunciation: dee test pat turnd

Sentence: Each spring Joe and Melba had a tv marathon and picked an ancient tv series to watch in it's entirety for that weekend. After the sluggish weekend, which also meant little physical activity and way too much junk food, they went into a guilty funk of self-loathing...they were detestpatterned. This spring's weekend was no exception, when they watched the entire "Beverly Hillbillies" series, black & white and then coloured versions. By Sunday night, they had strong Ozark accents, had eaten possum in many forms, drank Granny's moonshine (rhematis' medicine) and carved their pool cues into pot passers for when they sat at the fancy eating table in the billiards room. Joe also learned how to play "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on his fiddle! Well, doggy...

Etymology: Detested (disliked intensely; felt antipathy or aversion towards) & Test Pattern (A geometric chart transmitted by a television station to assist viewers in adjusting reception...since tv was not 24-7 in the old black & white tv days, the test pattern came on a while before the show started and was the last thing you saw on after the National Anthem played...boy does my age show!)

Pronunciation: rērəneθōgər

Sentence: Having spent their entire weekend watching 4 full seasons of My Name Is Earl, Bob and Bill feel like they have been attacked by the rerunnethogre. They have somehow absorbed components of the characters from the show into their personalities. Despite their suburban upbringing, they feel as if they live in a trailer park and drive an old beater. Last time they did something like this it took Bob almost a week to stop limping after watching just one season of House. DAMN YOU, NETFLIX!

Etymology: rerun (a program, event, or competition that occurs or is run again) + ogre (a man-eating giant) runneth over [from the Bible: My cup runneth over (having more than enough of something)]

They also caught Godfathers 1,2,3; Casino and Goodfellas, to break up their viewing. By the time they went back to work on Tuesday,each wanted to whack their bosses, eat more ziti and smoke cigars. They do this each year...just when they thought they were out, they get pulled back in! Try a Sound of Music weekend next year??? Fuhgeddaboutit!
