Nice one!

Anticrastinate: /ān’tÄ«-krās’tÉ™-nāt’, ān’-tÄ“-krās’tÉ™-nāt’/ “Why must you always anticrastinate?!?” Chelsea berated Jackie. They had rushed to Ronald Reagan International Airport to catch their flight home to Atlanta, which involved a scramble from their hotel to the metro station, then transfers from the red to the orange to the green line, and then a mad dash to the baggage check station and a sprint to the gate where they arrived two hours early with their pre-printed boarding passes despite the strip-search they endured at the security gate, only to discover that their flight was delayed SIX HOURS due to snow in Duluth. Etymology: ‘anti,’ var. of ‘auntie,’ favored spinster relative; ‘crastinate,’ var. of ‘castanet,’ flamenco percussion instrument. Created by: stache.

Such a interesting word! If my Latin serves me correct, the “cras” means tomorrow. And of flamenco and castanets, brings to mind the song, “Manana” and “the land of manana”

Pretard: /pre-tard/ Jonathan was never late. In fact his girlfriend often complained that he came too early, but his perpetual pretardation never got in the way of their relationship until their planned wedding day, when the anxious pretard arrived at the church 16 hours early and ended up sleeping with another lady in waiting, who coincidently had pretarded her intended groom by a day and a half. Etymology: pre+tard Created by: wordmeister.

The wedding must have taken place at Hour lately of Pre-pet-ual Help church

Yes it was consecrated at the Church of Hour Lately, but it was done a holy hour early.

The word standing alone is hilarious. The sentence is icing. (not sure, however, you meant “come to early,” which would mean being an early riser, as opposed to “come too early,” which means, well, kind of the same thing…oh, never mind.)

Thank you stache. I have added another “o” to my “too”, for clarification purposes…

Anticiwait: /an-tiss-uh-wayt/ Joel knew it would look ridiculous to the non-believers, but he didn’t care. Tickets for the band didn’t go on sale for another three days. He remembered the last time he waited for the latest video game console to come out — he took his time and got there 36 hours before the release date and was 9th in line. He wasn’t going to let that happen again. He was going to anticiwait as long as it took to be first in line. Etymology: Anticipate + wait Created by: arrrteest.
