Pronunciation: roam ee oh no and jool ee yet

Sentence: After 55 years of bledded wiss, George and Martha had a romeohnoandjuliet kind of agreement. He had many flaws and she overlooked them. If his roving eye followed a comely wench, Martha would whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Endearingly poignant phrases like, "It is apparently time to watch "Fatal Attraction" again, my dear, since you have forgotten it's cinematic lesson." Or "You have a wandering eye...don't make me send out the other one on the Search Party." George had learned a long time ago to listen to Martha's admonitions of affection. He may be the Head of the household, but she was the Neck, who could turn the head in any direction she wanted!

Etymology: Romeo & Juliet (ardent lovers in a Shakespeare story) & Oh No (regrettable reaction; something gone wrong)

Pronunciation: tŏl'ər-ŭv

Sentence: My mother disapproved. My father was disappointed. My best friends all thought I was crazy. Not as crazy as they thought she was, but crazy nonetheless. Had I not been suffering from a particularly tenacious infection of tolerove, perhaps their opinions would have meant something to me. "The Girl friend from hell", they called her, and not without reason. We'd broken up and gotten back together on a semi-weekly basis for years now. She was prone to hysterical fits, and manic outbursts; the occasional month-long binge of compulsive lying was always a treat. I had only received advice to end it, but I couldn't. The tolerove had grown, and spread into every aspect of my being. I had become so accustomed to the madness that resistance seemed futile. It consumed me so deeply, that now I considered it likely to be inoperable, and I resigned. We were likely to be tolerovers forever.

Etymology: Tolerance (the capacity to endure hardship or pain) + Love (A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection) ...Tolerove sounds a little like "cholera" (An acute infectious disease)
