Telebumitis

Created by: readerwriter

Pronunciation: tel-e-bum-i-tis

Sentence: Jared and Jewel, so in love with Lost, and lost in love, were too embarrassed to tell others what they had done over the weekend: sat on the two-seater and watched the entire season's shows non-stop. To compensate, they turned off the television, called in sick to work and then lay prone on the floor, night and day, Monday to Wednesday, not getting up for any kind of relief, in hopes of recovering from their severe case of telebumitis.

Etymology: From television + bum, for lazy person or buttox
