tragesty

tragesty = tragedy + travesty
a) At RiteAid of Bolton Hill a woman is reading her weekly horoscope in the National Enquirer. She swells "Oh my! Just look at this tragesty!" acknowledging that her astrological forecast for the week promises extraordinary challenges and a high probability of misfortune. She checks her standing and counts 10 tubes of Benzedrex in the basket and five more concealed within her tote bag. Realizing that this is quite an ordinary count she gasps "Darnell! I told you to get the Benzedrex! What are you doing standing around for?" She relaxes as the preparations progress and opens to a different page of the tabloid. Floating about is an unwarranted-full-page-at-the-beach photo of Lindsay Lohan cursing her very sun. The women notes that the page is without tragesty or tragedy, but the actress's bathing suit is decidedly a travesty.

"Oh yes it willsbe" in whispers to herself. her brows raise "Yes it willsssbeee." She is next to checkout. An all-magical-ninety six hour-nonstop-triptastic-spectacle of expeditionary proportions is about to begin. Onward to the City of Stars and Lindsay Lohan's Magnificent Mountains! The destination pleases Darnell "Oh yes it willsbe" he acutely agrees.

2) The cokeheads at the bus stop are eager to board the train of tragesties.

Traveloti

Traveloti - Stemming from Illuminati. An elite group of travelers who look down on the plebs of travel.

A person who has more travel skills than any 500,000 tourists combined. With 20 minutes to boarding time this person can single walk up to the elite security line, breezily pass through the metal detectors with nary an issue, order and eat breakfast, shave, change clothes, and still be the first to board the flight. He will then, of course, sit in first class with his free upgrade and enjoy the free snacks and drinks. Upon landing this person quickly departs the plan and airport without reading a single sign or showing any hesitation.

Traveloti's look down on parents with their children, old people, tourists, and any other known form of inept traveler.

Upon two travelotis meeting, they immediately compete for superiority. This can happen when choosing the fastest line, vying for the last upgraded seat, or comparing status on airlines. Alternative methods of competition arise when the traveloti share travel horror stories. The closer to death the better ranking the story receives.
Example 1:
Tyler: I have a backpack with over 500,000 miles on it. What about you?
Toby: You're such a traveloti!

Example 2:
Only a traveloti could pull this off:

I'm awesome because... I ran from terminal 1 to terminal 2 in the Munich airport and made it through two security checkpoints and a pat down in under 30 minutes to catch a flight. Now that's award worthy. The security guard that told me I must run had the look in her eye that I was likely not going to make it. But she was the hottest blonde German security guard I could imagine. It was a solid 2 mile distance and I had to try and follow the signs and basic instructions from a security guard. Hint, you have to leave the airport to get to terminal 2 or wait for a bus that runs every 20 minutes. SWEATY MESS described me by the time I reached the plane. I was one of the last 10 to board.

These times are not an exaggeration (40 minutes maybe, but the distance may have been longer), but I did have some people movers along the way which allowed me to keep a good pace with backpack and laptop. The hardest part was trying to pick a pace that would work for that distance and the weight I was carrying as well as factor in present endurance.
