Mallinger<\/strong>: \/Mahl-LING-er<\/em>\/ Two hours after the Wife entered Old Navy, Bob was seen in the food court, mallingering on the cement bench with an empty bag of Cinnabons. Etymology:<\/em> Mall: a large retail complex with no hardware stores. Linger: to pass time in a tedious manner. Created by:<\/em> kabloozie.<\/font><\/p>\n

Masterwait<\/strong>: \/mas-ter-weyt<\/em>\/ To keep her happy, he goes along shopping and will masterwait patiently while she tries on every pair of shoes in the store. Etymology:<\/em> master (of course she is this) + wait Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/font><\/p>\n

Spreeander<\/strong>: \/spree-an-durr<\/em>\/ Spreeandering about the mall for hours while Sandy tried on countless pairs of jeans left Jack barely coherent, and hungry. When he saw his honey finally emerge from her umpteenth dressing room, he grunted something about “done yet” and “food court” – much to her annoyance. “Geez, Jack, don’t be such a Spreeanderthal” she retailiated (retail + retaliate), handing him the most expensive pair she had found. Etymology:<\/em> (shopping) spree + meander Created by:<\/em> ScrabbledEgg.<\/font><\/p>\n

Contemplaza<\/strong>: \/con-tem-pla-za<\/em>\/ While dutifully lugging bags around like a pack mule, Chris would quietly contemplaza the meaning of life. Etymology:<\/em> contemplate + plaza Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/font><\/p>\n
