Have fun with a new word each day. I'll choose a word. You make up a meaning.
Visit my Writing Bug website
How to Play:
1. I choose an obscure dictionary word.
2. You invent a wacky meaning and add it as a comment.
3. After a certain time I list the true meaning and choose a winner for the invented meaning.
There are no prizes, just lots of fun!
Remember, children use this site too.

To be coronoid is to possess a fear of opening beer bottles sealed with a metal crown cap; more specifically of opening them with ones teeth al la macho style. Many alcoholics have been cured through developing coronoia.

A person who is coronoid is afraid of grain. The fear is usually of vast fields of grain (fear of what's in there, or of being lost), but some are afraid of harvested quantities (especially if it's in a silo or large bin). Few people know of the condition because coronoids just stay far from farms and farming. Coronoid farm-boys used to become priests or soldiers. Now they volunteer to keep their dads' books or they become mechanics and move to the city as soon as they can.
A coronoid is a lump which develops on your forehead when you have been wearing a crown for too long. Obviously this does not affect your average man in the street but it is a well known fact that HM The Queen has suffered from this in the past. She now wears a little mink headband under her crown to prevent further occurrences.
A person is coronoid when they have an irrational fear of monarchy. They avoid castles and royalty at any cost.
Coronoid is the description of the main arteries from the heart when they are generally knackered with too much good living.
A coronoid is a person with an abnormal fear of coronaries. Their fear is so great that many carry blood pressure cuffs and stethoscopes with them at all times. They also carry baby aspirin, they wear medical bracelets with all of their medical history on them even though they do not have serious "physical" (vs. mental) conditions.
A coronoid is deathly afraid of being in any kind of position of authority. They will suffer severe panic attacks if put in charge of anything, even if it's as small as keeping track of the keys. They're definite followers and shock-absorbers. Typically, heirs to the throne can become coronoid through anticipation of their upcoming reign. Such coronoid monarchy have gone off to war and gone missing under mysterious circumstances, or married some far-off unimportant duchess to live out their days quietly in a mansion.
The coronoid is an African tulip. It's distinction is that it blooms for a very brief time and has a fragrance that wafts gently in the breeze.
To be coronoid is to have a phobia of apple cores. Coronoia seems to be most prevalent in small children who will go to great lengths to avoid reaching the core of an apple they are eating. They tend to have a few random bites and then conveniently leave the apple to turn brown, as an excuse therefore for not possibly being able to finish it.
Coronoid: A up and coming corporate C.E.O. who is bi-sexual so as to better his/her chances for promotion. (Mostly used in whisper around cofee breaks or around corners by hard workers who point out the new comer "He's coronoid, BE CAREFUL.)
A robot replacement for Grannies. When a zesty Gran gets ladled with babysitting her grandchildren, she'll give them toys to play with, set up the coronoid on the couch watching tv, and sneak out the bathroom window to meet up with her bridge/housie/grey power/walking/movie chums.
This robot was originally named because the makers thought grandmas and nanas only watched Coro st. But in truth the Coronoid can just as easily watch History, Discovery, Nigella or the Simpsons.
