Words Fail, Buildings Tumble...
The following is my new favorite fake word. I felt there was a void for a word that could express the feeling of anticipation and dread at the same time; like when you see a Ben Stiller movie. Ben Stiller is funny, but you pretty much know the movie is going to suck. Here it is:
suxpectation \ suk-spek-ta-shen \ n \ 1. the act or state of expecting something to suck 2. something expected to suck (ex: So far the new R.E.M. songs have exceeded my suxpectations. ex: I am happy to say that the Braves this year have not lived up to my suxpectations.)
Please feel free to sprinkle your day-to-day conversations with suxpectations. My goal is for it to one day be an SAT word.
