Pronunciation: man tis ip ayt

Sentence: When Sergio went to the Big Mall with his fiancee, Carmela, to find her a great outfit, he knew it would take all day. He was able to manticipate by doing guy things at the shopping haven...drink expresso, check out the games store, watch a game on the big screen and buy lottery tickets. It was worth it when his princess came out with clothes and accessories to die for, even if it left him lighter in the wallet...

Etymology: Man (adult male) & Anticipate (wishing with confidence of fulfillment;wait with expectation)

Pronunciation: SLO-mad

Sentence: As Tom wandered from store to store waiting for his wife to finish her shopping he became just one more slowmad, looking over each item as if he really cared, fending off sales clerks with the slowmad's mantra "Just looking". He also knew that this activity was slowly driving him stark-raving mad. He could feel his sanity slipping away with each step he took. The last thing he wanted to become was a husbutt-parker — those old men who take up every inch of available bench space vacantly staring into space while a mound of packages accumulates at their feet.

Etymology: Slow (Very not fast) + nomad (a desert wanderer)
