Contrapsaffection: /con-TRAPS-eh-fecks-shun/ Edwin had a serious case of contrapsaffection for his cars, his boat, his power tools and his garden machines that could well be described as a superstitious infatuation. Etymology: Blend of ‘contraption’ (A mechanical device; a gadget) and ‘affection’ (tender attachment : fondness) Created by: Mustang.
Spinfatuation: /spin fat u ay shun/ Carl loved his car, in fact you could say he had a bad case of spinfatuation. His favourite book and movie had been Stephen King’s “Christine”, so when he first took her out for a spin (or as he called it, on their first date), he named her Christine. His spinfatuation was automatic and he spent many hours learning auto repair, because he did not want all those grease monkeys down at the local garage touching her sleek chassis, never mind looking under her hood. His time alone with her in the garage soon became a fixation. His mother was worried, but found it hard to torque to him about it. She tried to steer him towards other activities (or even appliances), but he refused to shift and always yelled back at her, until she was exhausted. Her concerns were further fueled by his talk about marrying Christine. She argued that this love was not the wheel thing and their age differential was too great. His mother almost had a hemi one day, when she discovered that Carl had left a note saying that he and Christine had eloped. The next day, Carl walked home, leaking eye fluids, without the lovely Christine. His mother saw that he was ready to blow a gasket and asked him what happened. Carl broke down and said “I have made a complete axle of myself on my wedding night!” He told her that he had found out when she had made a transmission, that Christine had had some “work” done on her before they met, she was really a convertible… she used to be known as Christopher! She became the little engine that couldn’t. Carl lost all his inhibitors and committed battery first and then vehicular homicide. He had come home to look for his cables…the jumpers. We knew it would all end in gears…Oh, the heart brake! Etymology: Spin (go out for a drive) & Infatuation (an object of extravagant short-lived passion)

Carpanionship: /kahr-pan-yuhn-ship/ You know that expression “a people person”? This is the last phrase you’ll hear in a description of Gary. He has all the interpersonal skills of a soggy sock. Maybe this is why he relies on his Toyota for carpanionship. He spends more on his girl, Camry than most people spend on rent. Etymology: car (an automobile) + companionship (the relationship of friends) Created by: artr.
