Jirkfectation: /jirk fek tay shun/ Why did Lacey ever think that George’s habit of using chauvinistic terms of endearment was cute? His familiarity had seemed quaint when he called her Cutie or Babe or Toots or Doll. She was beginning to think he could not remember her actual first name. His jirkfectation was equally applied to all women he encountered. But he went too far in calling the Mother Superior of the local convent, Hottie. Lacey reckoned his punishment in Hell would be a term of enfearment. Etymology: Jerk (a dull stupid fatuous person) & Irk (to irritate or vex)& Affectation (a deliberate pretense or exaggerated display) Created by: Nosila.

Annoyhilate: /ənoiəlāt/ Genny really didn*t know how break up with Peter, so she set out to annoyhilate their relationship. He was able to tolerate the **dainties** hanging in the shower and the load of laundry where she **accidently** washed all his whites with her new red blouse. He could even grin and bear it when she picked her teeth in public. What finally put it over the edge and sent him packing was her laugh/snort. And she hadn*t even planned that one. Etymology: annoy [irritate (someone); make (someone) a little angry] + annihilate [destroy utterly; obliterate] Created by: artr.

Sincryption: /sin krip shun/ Agnes & Leroy worked together. Agnes & Leroy fell in love. But falling in love at work is not always a good idea. Especially since Agnes already had a husband and Leroy already had a wife. So they developed a secret code to convey their feelings.

They overlooked the fact that the word sincryption contained another word..CRYPT…and that is where they spent eternity together once the spouses found out…and spouses always do!
