Desciencetize<\/strong>: \/de-SCI-ehns-eh-tize<\/em>\/ Henry was a bit of a dunce where science is concerned but he had a gift for gab so by using a smattering of actual knowledge, sprinkling in an abundance of gibberish and doubletalk he could desciencetize just about any kind of medical or scientific information. Etymology:<\/em> A play on the word ‘desensitize’ Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n

Dorkumentary<\/strong>: \/dawrk-yuh-men-tuh-ree<\/em>\/ By the time the network was done making the scientific study interesting and understandable to their audience, all they succeeded in producing was a dorkumentary. Etymology:<\/em> dork (a silly, out-of-touch person who tends to look odd or behave ridiculously around others; a social misfit) + documentary (based on or re-creating an actual event, era, life story, etc., that purports to be factually accurate and contains no fictional elements) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Dimmunology<\/strong>: \/dim mewn ol o jee<\/em>\/ Explaining how the body contracts diseases to his pretty but ditzy girlfriend, Dody, was a lesson in dimmunology for Professor Speigel. Etymology:<\/em> Dim (slow to learn or understand; lacking intellectual acuity) & Immunology (the branch of medical science that studies the body’s immune system) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Conciface<\/strong>: \/n. KAHN-sih-fiss; v. KAHN-sih-fayss<\/em>\/ n. The teacher used a conciface in order to increase understanding among his students. v. Sometimes it is necessary to conciface so people will understand a concept. However, concifacing can be difficult with some subjects. Many things have been concifaced in classroom settings. Etymology:<\/em> Concinno- make, cause to be, render (Latin); Facilis- easy (Latin). Created by:<\/em> Artomun.<\/p>\n
