Main Entry: nib-om-et-er
Pronunciation: \ˈni-ˈbäm-ə-tər\
Function: noun.
An organic instrument used to determine ambient temperature. Relative warmth is indicated by a soft, relaxed form, while decreases in temperature cause the instrument to contract, extend, and become increasingly firm.
Often, temperature can be easily determined by observing someone else's nibometers directly through their clothing.
