Gentrylevel<\/strong>: \/jentr\u00c4\u201clev\u00c9\u2122l<\/em>\/ When Prince Gustuv found that the family fortune was not what it once was, it became clear that he would have to find a way to make some money. There are few jobs earmarked for the nobility so it looked he would have to downplay his rank and take a (gasp!) gentrylevel position. The interviewer tried hard to not burst out laughing when he saw “formerly know as Prince” on the resume. Etymology:<\/em> gentry (the class of people next below the nobility in position and birth) + level (a height or distance from the ground or another stated or understood base) play on entry-level Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Very good, and it made me laugh!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Disconjobulation<\/strong>: \/dis-con-job-yu-LAY-shun<\/em>\/ With no possible chance to find another job in his highly specialized field, Horace found it necessary to apply for jobs he once considered beneath himself and found a little disconjobulation was necessary in order to ‘qualify’ for such menial positions. Etymology:<\/em> A play on the word discombobulation, or discombobulate (To throw into a state of confusion) Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n

great<\/p>\n

Love it!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Denyigreat<\/strong>: \/dee-ny-I-grate<\/em>\/ In these tough economic times the only way I could get a job at the local McDonalds was to denyigreat, which was difficult because I am. Etymology:<\/em> deny + I + great + denigrate (disparage) Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

Mcjobimize<\/strong>: \/Mc-Job-i-mize<\/em>\/ To be even considered for the position at Dollarama, Joe had to McJobimize his resume leaving everything out that he did since high school. Etymology:<\/em> McJobimize – verb – from McJob (a none descript low paying job such as a burger server, or store greeter) + minimize (to represent at the lowest possible amount) Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n
