Insufflation

Insufflation is simply breathing on or into something. In a slightly more bizarre sense, it can also refer to breathing on someone as part of an exorcism. Great invented meanings, by the way. Today's winner on the poll was suggested by Thinks! Great work, again.

Insufflation is a rarely used medical term for a condition that causes the body of a Diabetic to inflate the components of Insulin to react in a stronger way than normal.

Insufflation is murder by a type of suffocation when instead of smothering the victim, air is pumped into them by means of a bellows until they explode.

Thanks for all the fun you've given us this year. Happy Christmas.

Two positive objectives can be realised by insufflation. You can reduce your carbon footprint whilst at the same time ridding your world of people you can't stand.

Insufflation is a problem that would get you a right shouting at by Gordon Ramsay. It's simply the failure of your souffle to rise.

Insufflation is when a person is unwrapping a present so quickly and eagerly that they become a blur of flying wrapping paper.

Do you mean Inns of Elation? Like Motel-No-Tell?
Insufflation; that is when cows pass gas. Bessy, our old milk cow suffers terribly from insufflation.

It's when currency gains value --the opposite of inflation. The consequence is that everyone lives better and has more.

Insufflation is what happens to the audience of a long-winded speaker.
