dizzy coach 

Type of nightmare where one is paralysed and unable to move. In its most horrifying form, one is incarcerated on one's back inside a long pipe; light (usually coloured, e.g. cyan, yellow or magenta) may be seen in the distance at one end of the pipe, but the pipe itself is black.

Dizzy coach nightmares are usually accompanied by an echoing low-pitched mechanical droning sound, similar to a recording of a cement mixer subjected to excessive reverb.

I had a terrifying dizzy coach nightmare last night.

cranial debognotisation

Dyeing and colouring of the hair. Originally used to describe the colouring of the hair with "Cosmic Colour" aerosol temporary hair colour, but now covers all instances of dyeing and colouring the hair.

I got an all-over cranial debognotisation with "Cosmic Colour" hair dye at the school fete.

dusological 

Pertaining to the quality of a debognotisation. The higher the quality of the debognotisation, the more dusological it is.

Key dusological qualities include:

(1) The permanence of the substance used. Greater permanence is better.

(2) The surface coverage of the debognotisation. Greater surface coverage is better.

(3) The artistic merit of the debognotisation. A higher artistic standard is better.

(4) The attractiveness of the person performing the debognotisation. A higher perceived attractiveness is better.

That was an incredibly dusological debognotisation when that totally gorgeous person drew intricate designs all over my body with permanent marker pens.
