Pronunciation: Milky-Haze

Sentence: Jim was getting sick of his wife telling him what to do, so he finally lost it and gave her a good yelling. Not pleased with the tone Jim was giving her, she reached in the cupboard, grabbed a frying pan and gave Jim a piece of her mind. It took almost a whole day for Jim to loose the Milkyhaze surrounding his vision.

Etymology: a mix of Milky, from the Milky Way (It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies. Also where our solar system resides) and Haze (vagueness or obscurity, as of the mind or perception; confused or vague thoughts, feelings, etc.)

Sentence: Sidney (aka Lumpy) is working on a new field of study, traumastrology. It is the study of how a person is effected by the alignment of the stars that occur just after a blow to the head. He has worked for years to perfect just the right whack to the noggin. Too little and there are no stars, too much and the ability to gather data is lost. His theory is that a Pisces would react differently than a Taurus to the same concussive event. He may never know. He just can't seem to recruit test subjects. Friends think he has studied a bit too much on his own.

Etymology: trauma (physical injury) + astrology (the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world)
