Rissame
Rissame is a prefix to a weak excuse for not going into work or for being late. Similar to a sickie but usually a lame excuse. Common examples include rissametrain for a cancelled or late train, rissamecough because you have a cough or coughed twice last night, and rissameshower because your shower is broken (or so your boss is meant to believe). A lazy work shy person is most likely to have a "rissame" (often abbreviated to rissa), genuine illnesses and problems aren't generally characterized as rissames - rissamecancer would not be a proper use of the word unless your hypochondriac mate is complaining about a minor ailment and you want to imply that it's cancer.
Mondays are fucking shite, I'm going to treat myself to a rissa.
(At 09:00) The 06:04 was cancelled according to Twitter. Rissametrain innit? Have a Ronald's breakfast and tell Donna I'm going to be late.
How many rissas have you had this month?
Hypochondriac: I've got a twinge in my back.
You: Rissamecancer ain't it son? Go and have an x-ray.
