Refrenemy
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: re fren emee
Sentence: When Janet met Brad again at the reunion, she realized he had become a refrenemy. He not only hated her hair and her dress style, (She was sure the invitations stated retro 80's look, so as people could recognize each other) but he also was still an older but more judgmental geek. It was when she caught him making out with Sue (she of the Just Sue Me! fame) that she realized he was just "Desparately Seeking Susan" and not really into the fact that she was Madonna's personal assistant! Loser!

Palasite
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: paləsīt
Sentence: Sometimes being a nice guy has its drawbacks. It can entice palasites. I know that sounds like some kind of royal gemstone but is is really a royal pain. Palasites are socially-inept people (dorks) who have decided you are their friend for something as simple as calling them by their given name instead of the commonly-adopted moniker of **Get away from me, you idiot**. You thought you were done with them when you graduated high school but now he found you on Facebook. Ignore! Ignore! Ignore!
Etymology: pal (friend) + (an organism that lives in or on another organism [its host] and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host*s expense)

Created by: Nettle
Pronunciation: may-so-nos-tal-gee-meet
Sentence: Mary shook her head as she watched Alex searching for people on Facebook. His periodically rose-tinted view of his school days had driven him to masonostalgimeeting again, a path filled with nothing but the painful memories of past humiliation.
Etymology: masochism + nostalgia + meet, although I've twisted the meaning of masochism a little bit because masonostalgimeeting is rarely the kind of pain anybody's going to enjoy.
