Catatoniclysmic: /KAT-a-ton-uh-KLIZ-mic/ Gazing upon Geraldine’s panicked visage, Irving remained catatoniclysmic. He knew what to do. This was no crisis, this was merely one of those moments that make life worth smiling about.

“AAAAHGGGH!” screeched Geraldine. “My hair! Don’t let them see me like this!” She gripped his shirt, knuckles white, fabric strained to button-popping point.

Irving blinked slowly, and a beatific smile spread across his face.

“Don’t panic, honey.” He soothed. “I’m the sysadmin! I’ll 403 everyone.”

Geraldine breathed a sigh of relief… and her relief lasted for a millesecond until she caught sight of her fire-engine red and day-old-bruise purple coiffe in the mirror. She fled to the bathroom in hysterics.

Irving blinked slowly. Etymology: CATACLYSM: any violent upheaval, esp. one of a social or political nature + CATATONIC, adjectival form of CATATONIA:
a syndrome seen most frequently in schizophrenia, characterized by muscular rigidity and mental stupor, sometimes alternating with great excitement and confusion Created by: airlie.

Hystericool: /-hi-STER-i-kool-/ The whole family was going on summer vacation again — to Disney World this year — with Jane, her husband, their five kids, her in-laws and two cousins. Every year, it was Jane’s job to organize the family’s packing and get everyone ready to rush to the airport as soon as Jack, her husband, got home from work; and Jack was always late. With screaming kids running all around her, Jane calmly walked through the house, grabbed Grandpa Joe’s medicine, Jennie’s retainer, James’ Game-Boy and Jill’s iPod, dropped them into the appropriate suitcases while snatching a flying T-shirt out of the air and packing that too. While chaos erupted around her, Jane remained hystericool. She didn’t even sweat a drop when she and Jack rode the Space Mountain ride. As the ride stopped, Jack leaned over and gave ‘his Coolamity Jane’ a smile and a big kiss. Etymology: Hysterical – behavior characterized by excessive or uncontrollable emotion, such as fear or panic (from Greek, hysterikos “of the womb, suffering in the womb”) + Cool – not excited; calm, especially during times of stress (from Pre-Germanic, koluz “cold, to freeze”) Created by: Tigger.
