Thinkophony: /θingkəkäfənē/ Rob once watched a scientific special that showed a group of geniuses attending a symposium. He noted that a number of them made audible noises as they thought. In a misguided effort to boost his own mental abilities, he began what his friends have deemed thinkophony, grunting, squealing and snorting as he contemplated world issues. All it accomplished was expulsion from the library club. Etymology: think (direct one*s mind toward someone or something) + cacophony (a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds) Created by: artr.
