[Vocabulary] An original sentence for the word Babbit

[Luuster2]

I need an original sentence using the word in context. It has to fit and match for the MODERN/CURRENT meaning. So I have to create a mature compound-complex sentence with an appositive. Correct spelling and punctuation and well-used vocabulary. Bracket the subordinating and coordinating conjunctions and underline the allusion word's appositive in the sentence.

Here is an example I created with the word muse,
When the girl was home alone, all she did was muse, think, about the past year, for the year was long and hard.

Bracket the subordinating and coordinating conjunctions and underline the allusion word's appositive in the sentence"? And who selected 'babbit(t)' for this task?

OhA strange task you may ask... HAHA! Well, My peers and I were having fun at work messing with some words since we didn't have any law firms to do (I'm a lawyer). So we decided to make a bet amongst the whole office. We're suppose to use words that barely anyone uses anymore. The more harder and unrecognized, the better. I chose babbitt since it has 2 meanings but I need to talk about the book. babbitt metal is too easy. Ah whatever thanks anyways.

In this case I was suppose to use this definition: a self-satisfied person concerned chiefly with business and middle-class ideals like material success; a member of the American working class whose unthinking attachment to its business and social ideals is such to make him a model of narrow-mindedness and self-satisfaction ; after George F. Babbitt, the main character in the novel Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis. Even I don't evenknow how that would fit.
