Slyversionary<\/strong>: \/sly ver shun ary<\/em>\/ Sandra kept Simon’s activities on a short leash. Whenever he wanted to do something she did not approve of, she would create a slyversionary attack. For instance, major sporting events on television were missed because that darn tv “acted up again” or “the cable was out”. How could he join his buddies hunting when his rifle and hunting license were not to be found anywhere? You get the picture, but Simon failed to notice the coincidence of these events. Etymology:<\/em> Sly (marked by skill in deception) & Diversionary (an attack calculated to draw enemy defense away from the point of the principal attack;a tactic that diverts attention) <\/p>\n

Etaskulate<\/strong>: \/e-task-u-late<\/em>\/ Jenny had such control over Joe that she could easily etaskulate him. A planned night out at the pub with Joe’s friends, or a Saturday golf game was always interrupted by Jenny’s sudden urge to have him learn knitting, or help her sort her fashion magazine collection.<\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> ETASKULATE – VERB – from EMASCULATE (to castrate; to deprive of strength, or vigor; to weaken) + TASK

Procedo<\/strong>: \/prow SEE due<\/em>\/ Sam\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s parents accomplished the amazing! He made his bed, vacuumed the downstairs, took out the garbage – all before breakfast! The procedo was that he couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t eat until his chores were done.<\/p>\n

Distractivity<\/strong>: \/dis-trac-tiv-i-ty<\/em>\/ Jill learned to keep a distractivity in her purse for social situations with Jack. If he became bored, he would get into trouble. At her mother’s dinner party she heard him start a lively conversation about the elections with Uncle Will. Quickly, she pulled a Game Boy out of her purse and sent him into the game room to wait for dinner. Etymology:<\/em> distract: divert attention + activity: an educational aid designed to stimulate learning through hands-on experience Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n
