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)
