Poundxiety: /pownd zuy etee/ When Betsey lived in Montana, she dreaded Spring, because her poundxiety would return. She knew she had gained some pounds over Christmas and winter and had a hard time losing it. At her doctor’s office, the scale read 187 pounds…thirty more than normal for her. When her husband was transferred to Canada, she was delighted to find that at her new doctor’s office, she only weighed in at 85…she figured all the effort and stress of the move had helped her slim down,until her doctor pointed out that her weight was measured here in kilograms. He told her that if she had transferred to England, she’d only weigh 13.35 (stone that is). Etymology: Pounds (weight measurement, especially of the body) & Anxiety ( a vague unpleasant emotion that is experienced in anticipation of some (usually ill-defined) misfortune;a relatively permanent state of anxiety occurring in a variety of mental disorders) Created by: Nosila.
