Mattoid
A mattoid is a thoroughly fascinating creature. It's a person who swings erratically between genius and fool. I like that. And I loved the array of meanings added by generous word imps who visited the blog today. Thanks again for coming back. You are very kind. And congratulations to Karoline whose meaning gained the most votes on the poll today.

Mattoid-- or more properly, "the Matto Id". This is a theory favored by post-Freudians in which the Id and the Super Ego are constantly fighting, eventually causing great mental disturbance and rifts, rather oddly mostly in people named "Matt". Some are greatly enamored of the theory that the name "Matt" actually causes psychotic breaks.
Mattoid: a term used to describe a person with Mattimism, a psychological disorder characterized by a robotic personality and a tendency to allow others to control them.
Comorbidity: often corresponds to alexithymia and sometimes to disorders on the autistic spectrum. It has been linked to erectile dysfunction in males and to dissosiative identity disorder (DID) females with unusually high amounts of testosterone or estrogen, creating a hyper-sensitive, childlike, emotionally dependent alter prone to deep depression in females with high estrogen and an insensitive alter prone to bouts of dangerous and usually violent narcissistic rage in females with unusually high levels of testosterone.
Cause: unknown. Has been linked to corpus callosum underdevelopment and to severe childhood trauma or abuse.
Treatment: most mattoid personalities function well in society without assistance, though in severe cases psychotherapy has been proven useful. Personality integration therapy combined with a hormone replacement regimen has been highly successful in females with corresponding DID.

A mattoid is the hardened, flattened, not noticed until it has become part of the sole, piece of chewing gum at the bottom of your shoe. It sometimes has bits of your journey captured within, and it has usually turned a depressing shade of grey.
Most mattoids are difficult to remove completely. In cases of cheaper shoes, some mattoids cause the shoe owner to grunt in frustration and then throw away the shoe.

A mattoid is a peculiar type of upper-gut hemmoroid caused by ingesting one's own matted hair. It causes great suffering and is an affliction of such persons that feel compelled to keep (by ingesting) any part of their body that might otherwise be lost. Perhaps a vain attempt at self-preservation or a mild expression of cannabalistic tendencies?
A cross between a little boy called Matthew and a droid.
"After playing for hours on his playstation it was hard to see where Matthew ended and the lego star wars droid began. He had become at Mattoid"
In the early nineteenth century, there was a fleet of whaling ships that sailed out of the Port of Helsinki Finland. They would sail late in the spring time, usually sometime in May, and they would sail the seven seas, hunting the elusive whale. Sometimes they would be gone for as long as two years, and during this time at sea there was much work that had to be done, and some of the sailors had the task of working out on the bowsprit where the rigging of the foresail was attached. When the foresail was not in use, it was pulled down, rolled up, and tied down to the bowsprit. On each side of the bowsprit there was a safty net rigged to it, in case one of the sailors fell while working out there.
Now it always seemed to be the habit, or addiction,(They still don't know for sure which), of one or two of the sailors to walk out on the spar, and lay down in the safty net to relax in the sun when the seas were relitively calm, but with a good breeze that kept the sails full, and ship moving well through the water.
It was just a matter of turning his head just a little, to watch the bow of the ship cutting through the water. After awhile he would become mezmerized by this, and actually try to jump from the bowsprit into the on coming ship. If he was saved from doing this, he was taken to the crews quarters where he would recover in about 24hrs. This was called the Mattoid Syndrome.
Mattoid is a term used to describe the fur of a stuffed animal that is worn almost beyond recognition. Mattoidness is expressed by marked discoloration, and usually a peculiar yet unsettling odor.
It's called many things in Jr. Highs and Middle Schools around the world. We called it "gleek". Some called it "glit" and others called it "squit". Gleek is that strange burst of saliva that shoots out from under the tongue during a heavy yawn. Many times you don't even know you've gleeked unless someone sees it or feels it on his arm. If you can master gleeking, you can surreptitiously send a spray of it onto a friend or loved one and they will wonder where it came from, but never suspect you. Victims often think there's a leak in the ceiling.
A mattoid is that clump of salivary glands under the tongue that produces gleek. My mattoid is big and I have great control. Don't sit in front of me at church.
Mattoid is a device turning glossy photos into matte ones.

Good luck with your blog. It's been swell!
A creature that lives on mats.
I was looking at the Word Imperfect blog and I thought it was really neat but I don't blog much at all so I think I messed up! I clicked on "Flag Blog" and I got some kind of message about improper content or something like that! I'm sorry. I just wanted to save your blog so I could find it again. I guess I need to read up on blogging before I do anything else. I hope I didn't cause you any problems. I think your Word Imperfect is great!
The generic term for Matt Damon, a type of android.

Contrary to popular belief, the mattoid has nothing to do with mats. The origins can be traced to a rather educationally-challenged gentleman who's name has been lost in the annals of time, but lets just call him Joe.
Joe was never very good with spelling. In fact he could not have spelt 'spelling' if it was the deactivation code for the ticking bomb strapped to his genitals. When Joe was asked by his pal Moe about his day, one day, Joe replied in his customary frugal speech - "Met Toid" meaning he had spent his time meeting someone he could only describe as a 'toid' or a 'turd' to those unfamiliar with the street speak. Moe loved the expression so much, he repeated it to everyone in their acquaintance and the words merged together and further bastardised became 'Mattoid'.
Mattoid (v.) - to have 'met' someone you dont really like. Street speak, only. Not to be used in business communication.
Mattoid- n. Ancient Chinese tabloid printed on straw mats ,used by third rate ancient Chinese scribes to publish scandalous affairs of the ancient chinese royalty.
WordImp--what about the Chindo's? Waaayyyyy inventive! Too hard to choose, must be tough--this is the bestest fun, by the way.
Sorry--have to add that Kingslayer's was hilarious too! I'll go away now :) Keep on keeping on me' dear!
Hello Auntibeck
Yes, I did like The Chindo's meaning. It was on my list of faves. But you're right. Choosing is tough. I try to be fair but maybe I don't always get it right. However, I always welcome comments from other word imps about their favourites and it's nice for the participants to see that others have enjoyed their meanings even if they didn't make it to the poll.
