Sentence: After 20 years out of school, Dick decided to lackquaint himself with the people in his senior year. What on earth made him think that two decades would erase their memories of him? He had been Treasurer of the Chess Club, Ping-pong champion semi-finalist,Audio-Visual Co-ordinator, President of the Star Trek Fan Club, Secretary of the Slide-Rule Club and First-Aider Team Member. He had honors in Math, Science, Physics and Algebra, but had flunked Social Dance, Poetry Writing and Personal Hygiene & Development Class. Dick had not been popular at school, surprising considering his many achievements,and had no dates. He had had a crush on a cute redhead called Ruth, who was of course, a cheerleader, star of the school's musical production of "Bye, Bye, Birdie", drum majorette and President of the Future Stewardesses Club. If she knew Dick was alive or remotely interested, she never let on. She had later married the school football team's quarterback,Ned and lived the suburban dream. When the 20 year reunion day arrived, Dick was excited to meet all his old "friends" from high school and lackquaint himself again with them all, including Ruth. Arriving at the school's gaily decorated gymnasium, he was astounded to see that many had aged, the years had added pounds on everyone and bald or greying heads on paunchy men prevailed. One of these men was Ned and Dick was disturbed to learn that Ruth had left Ned after two years and three kids to run off and be a showgirl in Las Vegas. Yes, that reunion for Dick had been a Ruth-less one!

Etymology: lack (the state of needing something that is absent or unavailable;be without) & acquaint (cause to come to know personally;make familiar)& acquaintance (personal knowledge or information about someone or something; a person with whom you are acquainted;a relationship less intimate than friendship)

Sentence: Dorian began his GONERAQUEST one gray evening when he got spammed by Classmates.com...first he had to ressurectify their names from the dim recesses of his faulty membanks. Using Anywho and Google, he reanimated the memories of his troubled youth and e-mailed the lot. All the yammering yokels of yesteryear were at the reunion, including his old crush, Peggy- whose orange hair erupted like a lava flow from a long-dormant volcano. Quickly quaffing quantities of questionable punch, a dismayed Dorian deduced that his GONERAQUEST had gone awfully awry. It all came rushing back to him like a hot kiss at the end of a wet fist. He never really liked these people in high school, and the years had not been kind to them as they ripened into paunchy portraits of their former selves. Dorian schlumped home and took a fatal dose of repentathol - never to GONERAQUEST again.

Etymology: GONe+ERA+QUEST=GONERAQUEST.....GONE:possessed with a strong attachment or a foolish or unreasoning love or desire-from past participle of go.....ERA:fixed point in time from which a series of years is reckoned; a memorable or important date or event; especially : a period in the history of a person-Late Latin aera, from Latin, counters.....QUEST:an act or instance of seeking; a chivalrous enterprise in medieval romance usually involving an adventurous journey and an alcohol-drenched pseudofestival -Middle English, from Anglo-French queste.

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)
