When something or someone is not in its correct universe, dimension or cosmic location. Another word for anacosmism, especially to describe the feeling thereof. In the same way that a 'feeling of anachrony' means to feel as if one is in the wrong time.
An error of the anacosmy kind goes beyond mere 'anatopy' (where something is in the wrong geographic location but at least on the correct planet). Anacosmy can label errors in fantasy literature where people or things described are specific to Earth and ought not to exist in the fictional universe of the work.

Get the anacosmy mug.Any object or thingamajig specifically kept in bathrooms, particularly if it's a complex gadget with lots of buttons.
Coined in 'Time Enough for Love' by Robert A. Heinlein, where he described a "companion querafansible with sophisticated controls". In the science fiction universe of the book, this may possibly refer to the equivalent of a smart toilet, a control panel for the shower, or any sort of more futuristic appliance that your imagination fancies.

Sorry, I knocked your querafansibles all over the bathroom floor.
Is that querafansible a teleportation device? I never knew there were planets where they used those in the bathroom.
There's a sale at Lowe's. Only 10% off kitchen appliances, but querafansibles are half price!
