Pronunciation: /fənˈdɪbjulə/

Sentence: One's fundibula are not invisible, though we are often disinclined to see them.

Etymology: From Vonnegut's chrono-synclastic infundibulum. The way I see it, the place where everyone's personal fundibula meet is a chrono-synclastic infundibulum.

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

I was very close to selecting the word "fundilia" without reference to Vonnegut, but then I realized how close it was to infundibulum that I couldn't not steal it. Incidentally, I'll be very disappointed if tomorrow's definition is not "those places where all the different kinds of truths fit together." - ErWenn, 2007-04-19: 08:04:00

I'm hoping that tomorrow's definition will be "a proud and meaningless association of human beings". Nice word by the way... - wordmeister, 2007-04-19: 10:12:00

Thank you. - ErWenn, 2007-04-19: 16:00:00

Pronunciation: tekst tuall at ten shun

Sentence: Mimi's main social interactivity was that which she played out everyday by texting, e-mailing and on-line networking with her friends, family and people from long ago and far away who looked her up. She spent so much energy and time doing this, that she failed to allot enough to meet suitable young men. As a result she was lonely and suffered from textualattension. If she lost her communication tools, she would be lost in learning how to connect with real humans. Maybe it was time to contact e-Harmony and let them find her a mate. How the heck did her parents ever meet and marry in the Dark Ages, she wondered...

Etymology: Textual (of or relating to or based on a text...written word used on cell phones, blackberries to communicate and network electronically) & Attention (the work of caring for or attending to someone or something) & Tension (a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense) & Play on Sexual Tension (wink, wink, nod, nod)
