[McGowdog]

Sharted- when you get a little more than you bargained for when you try to pass gas.

[SandyCo]

Floristation - Filling your yard with flowers.

Defloristation - Spraying weed killer on a windy day.

Roughage - Varies depending on the individual. The teen years is a good example. Mid forties is another.

I suffer from Bovilexia. All the way across the Kansas turnpike last week. Moo, Moo, Moo. In response my wife was guilty of:

Equuslexia - The uncontrollable urge to lean out the car window and yell "Neigh!" whenever you see a horse.

We had "many moo, some neigh" sightings as well as "many neigh, some moo" sightings. Seems to be a mixed bunch down there. At least we weren't leaning out the window.

You have to wonder what people in other cars think of two almost-retired folks laughing like a couple of maniacs on the Interstate. "Hey, Mabel, did that guy just yell moo? What the Hell is so funny about the word moo?"

Intermania - Going crazy on long trips.

Peerun - A stop at a gas station or restaurant when all you need is a restroom. Var. Peedump

Hostelities - Having an argument with the employees at a hotel.

This is fun, but I have to go to bed early. We expect to be awakened in the middle of the night (again!) by storms.

That would be Thunderupping or Sirenitis depending on the circumstances.

Night all.

Tek_Freek, I love those! I laughed at Tripskaidekaphobia, Consterpation, Nostrullience, and
Giggelation.

[Tek_Freek]

Rubberblanding - Creating overly chewy food using Tofu.

Tockannoyia - The emotion you feel when listening to a clock that tick tocks while trying to get to sleep.

Bluelaughs - That single blade of grass that you missed on your otherwise perfect mow job. It is always where everyone can see it.

Groupgapes - The reaction of a group to someone saying something stupid or outrageous.

Nutstration - The emotion associated with the inability to remove a stubborn nut. Also results from Wrenchloss, which is placing the one wrench you own that will fit that nut in a location unknown to you. A side effect is Plierrounds, which are those round corners found on nuts caused by not enough pressure applied to pliers when trying to turn the nut. At the other end of the problem you will discover Slotslop, which is the tearing of the metal around the slot in a screw head caused by a screwdriver that has the wrong sized blade. Philvexing is rounding out the head on a Phillips screw by using the wrong sized screwdriver. It can also describe the feeling you get when trying to loosen the screw after Philvexing has occurred.

Kidiot - Kids that do really idiotic things

[SandyCo]

How about these:

Balderdash - n. When a man suddenly realizes just how much hair he's losing, and he runs to the hair restoration products section of the local drugstore.

Kiggle - n. That wiggling motion that cats do right before they run and pounce on a moving object.

TekFreek, your Sniglets are awesome!

And Redjuel, I love "kidiot". Wonderful!
