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.
