Pyaemia
Pyaemia is not for the squeamish. It's blood poisoning caused by pus-forming bacteria. I'm sorry I had to go into so much detail. Let's move on, shall we? So, pyaemia didn't have very much to do with pies - although plenty of the invented meanings did. Heaps of fun had by all on the blog as usual. Bea N. Random invented a great meaning and it was good enough to win today. Congrats!

pyaemia: a localized and temporary burning sensation.
Robert loves the hottest Thai dishes, but had to stop eating them, because as he gets older they cause pyaemia going in and coming out.
Hey Gang! thanks for the teknonymy nod. :-)
It's a disorder triggered by complex mathematical problems. Symptoms include giddiness, excessive sweating and increased heart rate. In severe cases sufferers have been known to collapse outright after the merest glance at an equation.
pyaemia - The transitional lyrics that accompany the emphatic litergical dogma within the confines of paradoxical rhymes.
Pyaemia-n. Involuntary muscle spasms
"Dude, I have had a mad case of pyaemia in my thighs from walking those six blocks to McDonald's. They should build another one closer."
Pyaemia was the name of an old kingdom believed to be somewhere near modern day Ukraine and Romania. Legends tell of a predatory (possibly undead) race of beings who survived by consuming human teeth. This is believed to be the source of the human race's deep rooted fear of dentists.
Pyaemia is the name of one of the Sirens who lured sailors to their death in Ancient Greek Mythology.
Pyaemia was a little minx who thought nothing of singing a tantalizing and suggestive song. She was the most beautiful and alluring of all the Sirens and caused great jealousy amongst her sisters. One day they cut off all her hair and wove it into a fishing net and from then on they spent their time catching the delicious piragua fish that only live in the Ionian waters completely forgetting their mission on earth to catch and drown all men sailors. (Women they left alone).
That is why so many Greek sailors, still to this day, go around in drag. They wear those sweet little skirts and tights.
Pyaemia:
A disease you can get after entering a Pie eating contest. Since this disease can only be contracted when you do not use a fork/spoon, the surgeon general is debating if a warning should be added underneath all pie tins.
Pyaemia is the jealousy some experience when they believe others want to steal their pies.
Being an nurse I am familiar with this word Pyaemia. So I will not spoil it by giving it away for the other readers. The only thing I will say is it is medical. Enjoy
Pyaemia: A small shrub only found in the deepest darkest forest of Columbia. When eaten by politicians it makes them listen to their constituents.
Pyaemia - opposite of anorexia. Insatiable desire to consume yummy fat laden foods, especially pies.
Brits will know that our very own John Prescot has pyaemia.
Oh and thanks for the votes for Teknonymy!!!...we're all so easily pleased aren't we!
Pyaemia (n.) is the proper term for spontaeneous self-combustion.
A mild nervous condition causing strain on the teeth & jaws observed mostly among women. The first indication that pyaemia is taking hold is a sharp intake of breath upon seeing that her word imperfect definition is in the voting- and not just in the voting, she has exprienced that honor several times with a perfectly appropriate ammount of jubilation, but this time she's been chosen along with her word imp god, her hero of word imp erudition, the word imp who writes his interests in GREEK in his tantalizingly brief personal profile, the name she dares only whisper in conjunction with her own....Brian o Vetranos....
The intake of breath is followed by increased heart rate, tickling in the tummy, a suppressed giddy giggle, and a slightly mad & feverish glint in the eye. The teeth clamp together to stifle a guffaw in front of co-workers. The effort to maintain a serene & businesslike demeanor causes slight jaw & dental discomfort. Her mind blocks out the fact that she is also up against lorenzothellama--that is simply word imp overload. I'm thinking maybe a support group for pyaemiacs...hmmm
Pyaemia is a condition that surfaces after one has eaten far too many pies. Research has shown that the Pyaemic condition is far worse if the pies are sweet rather than savoury. Pyaemia is not a life threatening condition, but should be treated as soon as possible by ingesting a bottle of Mylanta.
Pyaemia; A Tropical Fruit found only in the Galapagos Island.
Pyaemia (n)- Also known as Mad Scientist Syndrome, this is the proper name for that uncontrollable urge to blow something up.
i.e. When her husband pured the whole container of lighter fluid on the grill, Mandy knew he must be suffering from severe pyaemia and bought him a box of fireworks the next day to alleviate it.
PS- This is CCat, who has finally regained access to her long-lost blogger account- woohoo!
I studied medical terminology two years ago and I am always seeing medical words in here. I won't blow it. Mums the word.
Pyaemia-This is a condition that happens in extreme rage (good reason to stay away from redheads when this occurs).
A person can get so angry, the blood literally boils in the veins and if left at the extreme boiling point...look out!
Pyaemia - pronounced PEE-UH-EE-MEE-UH:
is an irrational fear of using public restrooms within five minutes of another person. Pyaeminiacs, as they're referred to, believe that the toilet needs a "cooling off" period between users or they are certain to suffer impending urinary doom. This affliction occurs most commonly in women and men who urinate in a sitting position (these men have much more to worry about than Pyaemia, if you ask me!).
an illness where you crave only paella and it comes out of you ears.
Pyaemia is excessive fear of the number PI. Some fear is normal; only excessive fear is considered pyaemia.
