imaginertia

adj.
1: A disinclination to think imaginatively.
2: A block to one's imagination and originality caused by lack of inspiration; an inert imagination.

Imaginertia occurs when one's imagination becomes inert, e.g. it stops working. The scientific explanation is that there is no true originality. All creative thoughts are comprised of what the mind already knows and how it reorganises that knowledge to create an entirely new thought (otherwise known as using one's imagination). When lacking an inspiring source one is prone to imaginertia, but it can pass as quickly as it comes.

After several days of doing nothing and getting nowhere, the inventor realised he was suffering from imaginertia.

Despite previous signs of originality, the comedian fell flat. The audience saw his imaginertia and sighed.

Imagination Break

imaginary friend

A fictional companion, often created out of loneliness. Imaginary friends can often be found congregating around definitions of non-celebrities, singing the praises of the person in question.

OMG, John is so awesome. He's loved by his mobs of friends, his family, and even complete strangers he meets on the street. He's friendly, and well-mannered, with nary a hair out of place. John's amazing at sports and all the ladies are unable to resist his charms and good looks. Plus, he's such a great friend. I don't know where I'd be today if I'd never met the paragon of perfection that is John.

Imaginary Russert Qualities

When reminiscing about the late Tim Russert, these Imaginary Russert Qualities or IRQs, are the ideas that conjure up in your mind, regardless of whatever the media says contrary to them.

"Her dad has at least three of the Imaginary Russert Qualities."

"Calm down dad, you're getting the IRQs again."

Imaginary Russert Qualities include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Russert as an Alcoholic with various gins and vodkas on top of his stainless steel fridge

"Don't you even think about touching my Tanqueray you little nitwit!"

2. Poor parenting skills such as suddenly screaming at his son with a piece of corn chowder hanging on his lip.

"How was your day at school son?"
"eh, it was okay"
"You better hope that passed your exams with flying colors or else I'll hang your scrawny ass up by your silly pants, I'm not waking up at ridiculous hours to interview these jackasses for my health! Now go to your room and don't come out until you've finished Wealth of Nations!!!"

3. Throwing temper tantrums whilst making home repairs:
