Narcisspicuous

Created by: ziggy41

Pronunciation: Nar-sis-spik-yoo-iss

Sentence: My friend is so Narcisspicuous. Every day she asks "Do I look fat?" and she is 30 lbs. underweight so I say "no", of course. Except one day I said "yes", she cried first and then ran to the bathroom... I guess to brush her teeth because weird gurgling noises kept me up all night.

Etymology: Narcissist (love of oneself) + conspicuous (clearly visible)

Remadonna

Created by: jadenguy

Pronunciation: ree ma don na

Sentence: She'd remadonna every day between, "I'm too good for him," and, "Why is he with me? He could do so much better!" He knew that’s exactly where she was at, and exactly what he needed. Casual flirts and disinterested sighs kept her interested. He didn’t like it, but she’d find a really abusive relationship elsewhere.

Etymology: re- + prima donna
