Automobilepilot<\/strong>: \/otto mo beel pyle ot<\/em>\/ Magenta drove her KIA home along the same route everyday. Because she had travelled the route and knew the dangers and nuances in each stage of the journey, she went into an automobilepilot state. This meant she left work and arrived home without remembering a single thing in between. No wonder she got 3 photo radar tickets in the mail for one particular day…the one she discovered she was pregnant, got a promotion and went through 2 red lights, very quickly! Etymology:<\/em> Automobile (car, vehicle usually with internal combustion engine) & Autopilot (a navigational device that automatically keeps ships or planes or spacecraft on a steady course; a cognitive state in which you act without self-awareness)

Catnapigate<\/strong>: \/katnapig\u00c4\u0081t<\/em>\/ Some mornings are rougher than others. Few hour of sleep, light traffic and mostly straight, boring roads can tempt James to catnapigate his way to work. More than once the rumble strips on the shoulder of the highway have been his friend. Etymology:<\/em> catnap (a short, light sleep; a doze) + navigate (travel on a desired course after planning a route) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Somnambuslate<\/strong>: \/salm-nam-bus-late<\/em>\/ Our local bus driver would somnambuslate his way through his route – he was never on time. Etymology:<\/em> somnambulate (sleep walk) + bus + late Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n
