White-coat

"White-coats" are all the specialist doctors you hate going to see because you just know instinctively there is nothing wrong with you - but that the white coats are going to insist on taking gallons of blood off you, and prod you and stick you in noisy machines that give you as headache.

"And after that, it then will be mum carting me off to yet another white-coat, who will prod me around while I’m semi-naked, take litres of blood off me, mutter a lot, and will then prescribe pills to take each day, to calm me down!"

perhapponism

A perhapponism is a fear of something that may happen in the future, but which is magnified out of all proportion so that it dominates all your thinking.

I keep on having a perhapponism that if I do go on a walking safari in Africa it will be my last. I know it's irrational to think this because the safari guides have all got rifles and there aren't any really dangerous animals where we would be going anyway.

Scent-flehmening

"Lions, when they are scent- flehmening you, are sniffing you extra extra hard, using what's called their 'vomeronasal organ,' or 'Jacobson's organ,' which is situated in the roof of their mouth. Lions pull their upper lips back hard in what's kown as a "Flehmen grimace," exposing their gums and baring their canine teeth as, open-mouthed, they then search the air around trying to detect the direction of the most concentrated scent of you and your own pheromones. Snakes, too (amongst lots of other animals) have a Jacobson's organ - and the evidence of when it's being used is when their tongues flicker in and out their mouths, testing the air around themselves for prey.

That's it, Mr Grumpy, you keep on scent-flehmening me, lips back and open-mouthed, just like your doing now. Take really really deep sniffs of me! It's me, Mimbi Jones. You know my pheromones. So, why don't you just scarper and leave me to get out this tree, so's I can run back home before Mum wakes up and comes into my room!"
