Consanctuary: The prefix "con" can mean against or contrary. "Sanctuary" means a place of safety. So consanctuary would mean "against safety." Or, as we have come to use it, the opposite of sanity.
One day Jon and I were talking about crazy customers and Jon made the comment, "the insanity continues." About 30 minutes later, something frustrating happened to Jacob and he said, "the consanctuary continues!" So now, whenever anything aggravating or crazy happens we say, "Consanctuary!!" I think this new word makes complete sense and should go into the dictionary. If it doesn't, well, that's just consanctuary!
I will begin using this today. I love it.
