Missedgiving<\/strong>: \/mist GIV ing<\/em>\/ Laura was anxious because her husband seemed to really be downplaying her upcoming birthday. She suspected that he thought that she wouldn’t want attention brought to it, since it was her 40th. But she really wanted all the trappings – the big party, fancy jewelry, and maybe an expensive trip. She figured she deserved the attention! But she was starting to have some missedgivings…. Etymology:<\/em> missed + misgivings Created by:<\/em> karenanne.<\/p>\n

Birthdaze<\/strong>: \/b\u00c9\u2122r\u00ce\u00b8d\u00c4\u0081z<\/em>\/ Brenda has a mind like a steel trap. She can remember every day of her life in vivid detail. Where other people have an internal clock, she has an internal calendar. She can call up any of her friend*s anniversaries, birthdays or graduation dates. She can tell you the date that each of her siblings each lost each of their baby teeth. What she can*t do is turn any of that memory power into action. As dates roll by she is in an anniversary stupor, a birthdaze, never once getting so much as a card for anyone she knows. She loves the phrase **It*s the thought that counts** because that*s all she ever has. Etymology:<\/em> birthday (the annual anniversary of the day on which a person was born, typically treated as an occasion for celebration and present-giving) + daze (unable to think or react properly; stupefy; bewilder) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Negligift<\/strong>: \/neg-li-gift<\/em>\/ Marsha tried to excuse her negligift by saying “It’s the thought that counts,” but no one would buy it, especially her son Evan who was turning seven. Etymology:<\/em> negligence: a failure to act either willfully or through a lack of concern + gift: present Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Naryanniversnary<\/strong>: \/nairy annee vers nairy<\/em>\/ You just knew that after 37 years, the honeymoon was over. In the early years, Peaches and Howard had bought each other elaborate gifts and surprises to mark their wedding anniversaries…exotic trips, a new home, elegant gifts and expensive cameras, perfumes,jewellery, etc. After that long, people start to take each other for granted. Medicines and their side effects to keep symptoms at bay replace romance and passion with menopause,ED,gastro reflux and more frequent potty trips. Now they celebrated a naryanniversnary. Maybe he’d remember to shave that day and maybe she’d cook him a nice supper. They still loved each other, but they didn’t remember why. Life just sometimes gets in the way of love… Etymology:<\/em> Nary (negative;not in any degree or manner; not at all) & Anniversary (the date on which an event occurred in some previous year (or the celebration of it);ie: a wedding) <\/p>\n
