Pronunciation: hip hip sorray
Sentence: A classic case of "the good news and the bad news" was just the way Candace's life seemed to be going lately. So when she heard Linda, not Linda B., but Linda S, the one who stole her man had been fired the same day her cat died, she couldn't help but feel hiphipsorray.
Etymology: Feeling sorry on the outside, but cheering on the inside.

Ozziebob...yeah...the cat...Candace is still feeling very illitterate about it. (Etymology: ill=sick, litter=as in kitty. Def: The lowest point of grief after losing a beloved feline.) :)
