Pronunciation: pre VARE uh cree AY shun

Sentence: When Sara asked if she were ever going to have a baby brother or sister, her mother was ready for the question. She told Sara a little prevaricreation about how she was "so special that God only gives out one like you every once in a while." Well, actually, that was kind of true, if by "special" one meant "insufferable," "obnoxious," "time-sucking," and/or "über-bratty."

Etymology: prevarication (n.: a statement that deviates from the truth; a fib) + create
