OK, a challenge for all you nimble-minded wordsters. Replace one or more syllables of a word with another word to mint an original combination, with a humorous definition:
When someone is obsessed with another person to the point they are incessantly faxing love poems to the other, you could say one has a faxation on the other.
When someone has gotten to the point they are making constant, ridculous requests of God, you might say they are being prayposterous.
