Nixuberance

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: niks oob er rans

Sentence: Turning 40 was hard enough for Fred. It was made worse by the fact that his family and friends insisted on giving him a surprise birthday party. It was with great nixuberance he attended a celebration of his lost youth. Making things worse were all the gag gifts...the Ben Gay, the Depends, the hair dye, the phone with the huge numbers, the Polygrip and the nose flushers. He got three of them and he still doesn't know how to use them, other than to water tiny plants.

Etymology: Nix (nothing, zero,none;zip) & Exuberance (overflowing with joyful enthusiasm)
