Soothesay<\/strong>: \/sue-th-say<\/em>\/ The soothesaying ran on endlessly throughout the consultation until finally at the end the doctor gasped for a drink of water and I managed to sneak out of the surgery before she could launch into her predictions for my future health. Etymology:<\/em> soothe + say + soothsayer Created by:<\/em> petaj.<\/font><\/p>\n

Chatstract<\/strong>: \/-\u00cb\u02c6t\u00ca\u0192\u00c3\u00a6t\u00cb\u0152st\u00c9\u00b9\u00c3\u00a6kt-<\/em>\/ At first, I thought she was flirting with me, but it turns out that the proctologist was just chatstracting. Etymology:<\/em> from chat + distract Created by:<\/em> ErWenn.<\/font><\/p>\n

Eloquesia<\/strong>: \/ello-QWEE-shuh<\/em>\/ Dr. Lonnigan’s eloquesia wasn’t putting Harry at ease. In fact, his muttercal [filtered through medical apparatus] responses were painful to make and – to his ears – unintelligible. Etymology:<\/em> Eloqu(ence) + (anesth)esia EDIT: it occured to me that the word Queasy is sort of in there. I know I get a little queasy when the doctor starts talking to me. Created by:<\/em> MrDave2176.<\/font><\/p>\n

Medigab<\/strong>: \/med-i-gab<\/em>\/ Dentist’s medigab is designed to move the patient’s attention past the procedure so they will be somewhat more relaxed. Etymology:<\/em> medical + gab Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/font><\/p>\n
