I thought about this exact word but decided against, still it gets my vote \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Communipulsion<\/strong>: \/kuh-myoo-ni-puhl-shuhn<\/em>\/ The minister thought he must have really hit a nerve with his sermon when one of his parishioners jumped up with a shout and ran out of the church on Sunday. His ego was slightly deflated when he later learned that the member of his congregation had been a struck by communipulsion – a vibrating cell phone in her pocket and not his masterful words. Etymology:<\/em> communication (a strong, usually irresistible impulse to perform an act) + compulsion (something imparted, interchanged, or transmitted) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Ringclination<\/strong>: \/Ring-klihn-ay-shun<\/em>\/ Dorothy’s ringclination was so powerful that not even being in bed with her best friend Jemma’s husband could stop her answering the call – even with it being Jemma on the line. Etymology:<\/em> RING – to call someone up by telephone.
\nINCLINATION – the predisposition to do something.

Pickupulsion<\/strong>: \/pik-uh-PUL-shun<\/em>\/ The stark echo confirms that Jane’s pickupulsion extended even to the loo. Etymology:<\/em> archaic 20th cent Eng. v. to answer a ringing phone; to lift or pick up the receiver in order to respond to a phone call; + [comp]ulsion: loss of choice or control in a personal decision, usually as a result of obsession Created by:<\/em> lwoodsky.<\/p>\n
