Pharmapologia

Created by: cohenarie

Pronunciation: ,far ma pa 'lozh ee a

Sentence: The offering of unlikely and elaborate justifications -- "I was taking cold medicine, see, and I'm allergic to all the normal active ingredients, so I had to take specially formulated custom cold medicine, that happened to contain chemicals that appear similar to steroids in tests." -- is a hallmark of pharmapologia.

Etymology: From pharmacology and the older sense of apologize (to offer justifications and explanations, rather than to express regret and guilt).
