Thanatoid
Thanatoid actually describes something deadly, deathlike or apparently dead. Appropriate, coincidentally, with today being the release day for J K Rowling's latest book. I haven't bought mine yet. I put three meanings on the blog and each of them gaining a third of the votes - which means we have a three way tie! Congratulations to J Morgetron, Duckman and Bee. You all deserve it. Great work.

Thanatoid (n) - A gland at the base of the skull that regulates the killer instinct.
"As the fly buzzed around provocatively, Bee's thanatoid started working overtime turning her into the Psycho Fly Terminator"
Thanatoid (n) - a surprisingly frequent visitor of mens' navels. Inexplicably always grey in colour, these tight balls of fluff, when collected, may be knitted into a pair of socks.
Thanatoid (gr thanatos - death)
(n) - 1) an unsuccessful attempt at humor, or poor joke 2) a stand-up comedy routine without laughs
(ad) - having the attributes of a thanatoid
In an attempt to write a funny wordimperfect definition Pastor Phil read his definition aloud. It was a thanatoid moment, and he suddenly realized his hopes for a stand-up comedy career were a foolish dream. He was the only person laughing at his definition.
Apologies in advance...
A Thanatoid is a person or object hailing from the Isle of Thanet in East Kent, UK. Human Thanatoids often seem to believe that their little corner of the UK is a country all by itself, and many take delight in perfecting their special dialect, usually involving pronunciation of 'th' as 'f' and leaving off consonants from the end of words.
(Yes, it really does exist, and yes, I used to live there...)
Thanatoid: "android giver of death"; a code name for a prototype of robot developed to fight the wars of the future. It's a frightening idea, really.
The folk that live in and around Thanet, in Kent, proudly refer to themselves as Thanatoids.
Thanatoid is often referred to as "The Altoid of Death". Legend says that only those with the most heinous breath and staunch character are able to handle the Thanatoid. It is not for the meek, feeble or the case of mild morning breath. It's super-intense uber-minty flavor is so very fierce and mighty that it can make a grown man cry like a baby, humiliating him in public, thus making him wish he were dead. Mayhaps he shouldn't have had that onion, tuna and Limburger sandwich for lunch...
Thanatoid is a sweet, red wine from grapes grown in the Province of Thanatacov in Romania. The wine is very sticky, and it is usually pepped up with vodka as by itself it isn't very alcholic. There tends to be rather a lot of sediment in the bottom, but rather than decanting it, liquidising it is preferred as the sediment contains a lot of fibre.
A thanatoid is a person in a hurry, someone who "went that-a-way." The name comes from a combination of "that-a" and "toid", with the first psrt blurred into thana by usage.

Thanatoid-
A rare sickness, usually caught in the jungles of Panama. This illness may cause allergies to various hairy animals, such as dogs or cats. Another side effect is not being able to walk or run. Eventually, the various allergies may lead to death by stroke or heart attack.
Thanatoid
The latest planet found that would be able to contain human life. Scientists,Astrologers,Government Officials and the good people of Earth believe that this planet will be able to contain our next worldly prison system. Because of the gases emitting from the planets core, it will leave the criminals subdued as they harvest the Earths new energy source Thanatoid. Thanatoid rocks contain enough energy in one pound chunks to service a city of 1 million or more for a year. Also Thanatoid has been made into gas, so the biggest of vehicles can average 115+ miles per gallon.
Thanatoid (noun): a hormone that promotes the growth of nose hair.
Example: Elmer's thanatoid levels were off the charts. He let his wife braid his nose hairs.
Thanatoid: Resembling a look of fanatic person.
The thanatoid's hair was standing on end, her eyes were bugged-out and wild, and with a crazed look on her face, she grabbed the last book (Book 7 of Harry Potter) at the bookstore with a tight grip as she ran towards the check-out counter, cackling on the way.
Thanatoid is actually derived from the word sanatoid which is a type of robot designed to clean things. However, the person who invented the sanatoid,(a certain Professor O.C.Deebus)had a terrible lisp which prevented the correct pronunciation of the letter 'S', hence the subsequent perversion over time, of the robot's name.
The Thanatoid is included in inert incisions indicacted in inanimate icons indiscriminately
isolated inwardly.
Interesting isn't it?
A thanatoid is a stickler for the proper use of "than" as opposed to "then".
I can't come up with anything today, my thanatoid is still acting up and I'm trying to control it before I harm any more innocent flies!
Brian: LOL :o)
Thanatoid:
A person who cannot think on their own and is always asking “then what do I do?” after they are given any type of direction.
Thanatoid is another hillbilly phrase that I recently heard. It was a big event here in Kentucky.The folks pulled out their brand new Mosquito Deleto and invited the neighbors over for some evening entertainment. AAAh, potato chips, sweet tea and the sound of millions of bugs fryin' on the Deleto. Meemaw hooted," Them skeeters have met thare match!" and Peepaw replied," Tha Nat oid a be gittin' him jus rewards riiight quick!"
Oso Butterfly:
Come home. Come home now, I'm afraid for you. And bring the little'uns with ya!! oooo,now you've got me doing it!!
A thanatoid is a manufactured minion of the Greek demigod Thanatos, the personification of death. Thanatos was the son of the goddess Nyx (Night) and her consort Erebus (Darkness), twin brother of Hypnos (Sleep.) The minion of Hypnos is known as The Sandman.
If one of those twins or one of their minions comes knock, knock, knocking on your door, you'd best look through the peephole to see who it is before letting him in.
Thanatoid (n)- one who is always sarcastic, to everyone, usually due to a permanent bad mood.
an abnormally enlarged vein mainly due to a persistent increase in venous pressure, occurring inside the thanas of the punctum and beneath the mucous membrane or outside the diphthong and beneath the surface of the caucus skin.
no thank you very much.
Thanatoid describes anything in the solar system which is generally and genuinely believed to be one thing but ultimately turns out to be something quite different. Pluto is a thanatoid.
