Nonfollyer: /non fol lee yer/ Colin was a nonfollyer and he wanted to ensure than his daughter, Colina, became a nonfollyer,too.

If Norman Bates were a girl and Mrs., Bates was her Dad, that would describe Colin & Colina. He tried his best to teach her his values and for her to learn from his own poor examples, but Colina was going to be her own woman, no matter how much influence he thought he had over her. She decided long ago that her first order of business would be to move away from her Dad and leave their home, the Bates Motel…just in case a male Janet Lee ever came to stay with them…that would require Psycho-analysis for sure! Etymology: non (not,not at all or in no way) & folly (foolish or senseless behavior;the trait of acting stupidly or rashly the quality of being rash and foolish;a stupid mistake) & follower (someone who travels behind or pursues another; one who imitates others)

Another Top word.

Buttonupmanship: /buht’n-UHP-man-ship/ Bob wasn’t a nice man; if he didn’t get his own way, he would become pushy. Frequently he would be “pushing someones button,” and if that didn’t work he would “push their keys.” Also he thought that he was a tough dude and joined “The Push,” but they thought he was nothing more than a “push-fire” and a real “push-over.” Even at lifts and traffic lights, he always tried his buttonupmanship, telling little old ladies to “button-up their lip.” He had no success with the younger ladies also, when it came to “push-on-up.” Seeking a free night’s fun at someone else’s expense, he thought he might push his luck with the ladies at a “pushing school” or a “buttonhole factory,” but when it came to “push and shove,” they stomped on his “button and bows” and told him to “push off” or he’d be “pushing clouds” sooner than he thought.
