Anosmia
Anosmia is having no sense of smell. Now that could be useful from time to time. My daughter, unfortunately, has the opposite of anosmia. A highly developed sense of smell. Not sure of the word to describe that. Well done for all your meanings for anosmia. They were hilarious. Judi was the winner today. Great work, Judi.

Anosmia is an addiction to large quantities of iron supplements. It is quite common in ex-vegetarians, and even has its own 12-step program.
Derived from 'osmosis', this is a state of mind in which a person is unable to absorb any new information. Psychologists have not yet identified the cause of this disorder, but those most at risk are thought to be men over 25 with naturally stubborn dispositions.
Anosmia is a condition of having a wandering nose during sleeping hours. An anosmiac falls asleep, but his nose goes sleep walking during the night. When we arise in the morning to find slimey trails on the sidewalk, we often blame snails. These sidewalk slime trails are left by the wandering noses of anosmiacs.
Hurray I just noticed I won for exuviate. Thank you!!!!!!
Ooh, I say! Whilst, Bart would utter, 'Eat my shorts!, and Homer maybe 'Kiss my ass!'. Manuel would exclaim, 'Besame anosmia!'
Q.E.D.
Anosmia(n/adj): Anosmia is the tendency to snore while sleeping!
Eg: "Aunt Becky is an anosmiac."
The condition, common among mothers of young children, of involuntarily, sporadically, and continuously saying "no" or in most cases, "no, no."
"When Heidi told her husband, 'no, no' as he reached for the cookie, she knew her Anosmia was acting up again."
Surely karishma hasnat isn't referring to our own auntibeck?
Anosmia-from anos-Spanish for years
and miasma-pollution/disease,etc.
The crotchety, stubborn, belligerent behavior patterns that often beset old men. They may refuse to yield the right-of-way,to stop swearing around the grandchildren, to stop teaching the boys racy musical ditties, to stop cutting things down with the chainsaw, to bathe regularly, and above all else...refuse give up their drivers license at the desperate urgings of their children. Oh, yes, and they also have one topic of conversation...the war. God love 'em.
(Thanks to anyone who voted for me last week.)
Anosmia is the chronic reflex and tendency to lift ones pinky finger whilst drinking a spot of tea. It is ingrained in those who occupy the British Isles.
"The women who had gathered for High Tea experienced anosmia as they raised their cups to honor the queen."
Karishma could not possibly know whether I snore or not! Well, I declare!
Back to Anosmia.
Anosmia is the zone-like state of exhaustion following Reality Junkie's "Jeremiad" and period of "Excuviation." So the people who've been through the recent fire storms in Southern California, and the people who have sat around worrying themselves sick over their friends and family, have spent their week in a state of Anosmia. Hard to shake off that anosmia!! p.s. I guess I do snore.
Anosmia is the process caused by exposure to air (a kind of oxidation) that makes food like coffee and tea lose it's flavour after the packet has been opened.
So the almost full pack of tea bags that have been in my kitchen for around 3 years, and are kept for any guests who might drink tea have almost certainly been rendered totally tasteless by anosmia.
Anosmia is the opposite of osmosis. The best example is when a sperm fertilizes an egg the fertilized cell's walls have anosmia, they cannot be penetrated by another sperm.
Anosmia is the inability to stay awake for any length of time. Quite simply, the antonym of insomnia. Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Anosmia is when a person thinks he is the life of the party, but doesn't realize that he hurts other people when he makes fun of them. Not to be confused with arrogant jerks. They just don't really know that they are hurting others indirectly or directly.
Anosmia (n.)is the inability, in both a literal and figuarative sense, to look beyond the end of your nose and see what's right in front of you.
Anosmia refers to the rather vain habit of middleaged women to lie about their ages. Throughout history, many years have been lost by women of fifty something telling others that they are at least five years younger.
