Tranceportation<\/strong>: \/trans-per-tay-shuhn<\/em>\/ Monday morning. Coiffed, clean-shaven, & caffeinated. He looked alert-crisp even- as he took his seat; yet within minutes the familiar cadence of the commuter train put him into a deep state of tranceportation. People and places blurred past his opened yet unfocused eyes. Thoughts wandered through his open yet unfocused mind. As his railcar hurtled forward, dragging him and his fellow captors closer to the monotony awaiting them, he tranceported himself further and further back through his all too quick weekend. Etymology:<\/em> trance + transportation Created by:<\/em> ScrabbledEgg.<\/font><\/p>\n

Metrograde<\/strong>: \/me-truh-greyd<\/em>\/ Tim was experiecing metrograde as he bounced along on the vapidtransit system, thinking back on his weekend in Monaco watching truly rapid transit in the form of a grand prix. Of course, he lost his metrosexappeal when the drool dribbled down his chin and puddled on his chest. Etymology:<\/em> metro transit + retrograde Created by:<\/em> Scrumpy.<\/font><\/p>\n

Transitdentalmeditation<\/strong>: \/tranz-it-den-tal-med-i-tay-shun<\/em>\/ I find the transitdentalmeditation technique is the most effective way to remove the stress of the daily commute while bringing fulfillment and contentment to life – it is achieved by gently gritting your teeth to absorb the vibrations of the subway track – no drooling allowed! Etymology:<\/em> transit + dental + transcendental meditation Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/font><\/p>\n

Tubatose<\/strong>: \/toob-a-tohs<\/em>\/ As passengers settle down for the long ride to the city core, tubatose overtakes the passengers until they arrive at their destination. Etymology:<\/em> tube (British subway) + comatose Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/font><\/p>\n
