Famon, description of the feeling of being without food by a large number of people and for a long time...(months or years).

Not to be confused with famine, which is the wide spread description of agricultural failure or crop failure condition of no food production.

Not to be confused with famished, which describes the feeling of an individual before eating for just a day or two and is just a euphemism for "I am hungry."
There was the feeling of famon throughout the land.
(Persistent hunger for a long time shared by large amounts of people, brings feelings of despair, hopelessness.)

I felt as though Famon had consumed by future.
(Use to describe a future with no satisfaction of living, or being. Only misery.)

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
