snaining

That horrible combination of rain that is not quite snow...but soon will be. Basically, it's airborne precipitation that fluctuates mid-drop, and can't seem to make up its mind whether it's rain...or snow... (This word was created by Stephanie Tyler, of Eaton Township, Ohio.)

chesticles

Those dangling access ports/catheters that hang from the chest of a dialysis patient.

It's important to keep your chesticles clean and dry, lest infection set in!
