Test your Vocabulary!

Ever fall short of words? Or rather, are you sometimes unable to find the right word to suit a peculiar situation? Happens to me all the time. So here I suggest a few handy words to fill that very void.

1)Slimportant
Meaning/Context: Slightly(but not very) important
Usage: "I'll join you in a minute; got this slimportant task to finish. "

2)Romenace
Meaning/Context: When a 'romantic relationship' ends and one of the two involved continues to pester and trouble the other. I won't need to use this one, but maybe useful to some. 'Celebrities' perhaps?
Usage: "Don't talk about Tom! He's a romenace!'

3)Holidaze
Meaning/Context : You take a day off from work to finish some important chores. At the end of the 'holiday' you feel sick and dazed and take another day off to recover from the 'holiday'
Usage: " Sir, Owing to holidaze, I am forced to take another day off"

I think these words would be useful, but don't take my word for it:)Depending on the response from the general public, this series may be continued.

Will the gentlemen (and ladies too!) at Oxford take note?
