Pronunciation: kon kus stel lay shun

Sentence: Brain Injury researchers,Dr. Gene Yuss and his assistant, Dr.Sara Bellum had been working on their thesis that the more often you bonked someone's cranium, the more stars that they could see. They had even gotten grants from NASA to pursue their concusstellation theory. They worked very hard at hitting each other on the head to test their theory. The only problem with their work was that you could only do it so long before you died or got permanent damage, so we'll never know what their final findings actually were. No wonder NASA also looks for evidence of intelligent life forms on other planets...

Etymology: Concussion (injury to the brain caused by a blow) & Constellation (a configuration of stars as seen from the earth)
