Fundibula
Created by: ErWenn
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
