now-angel

Another word for a friendly ghost - the departed soul of someone you lived with and loved very dearly

"I so, so wish I had a hotline to my now-angel, so as to ask her where the hell she put that thing before she died two years ago. So frustrating, because it used to live in one place only, but it's not there now!"

bed-killer

A person (usually an adult) who is so terribly overweight and cumbersome that you just know the mattress wont be able to take the strain and that the bed will audibly crack and then sag like a broken matchstick when the overweight person gets onto it - usually by throwing themselves backwards onto the bed.

Wow! Look at the gross size of that man - bet he's a bed-killer.

dewclaw-hooking

Is like when a lion swipes at its prey and hooks one its front paw dewclaws into whatever it's chasing or clouting at, so the prey animal just cant escape.

"I have to stay calm and try and eye-dominate you because if I don’t, and you’re not too thick or lazy, you’re quite capable of rearing up on your hind legs, and then dewclaw-hooking me off this horizontal tree-branch with a swipe of one front paw."

quantum dissipation mode

When something is completely quantum un-entangled from the world around it.

"My physics professor speculates that ghosts exist in quantum dissipation mode most of the time. However, he says that if their quarklets manage to get entangled again, they then become visible to us. It must be really cool to be a Prof and think crazy thoughts, but get paid for it."

Dawnsmell

That fragrant smell in the dawn air after the first rains have arrived during the night

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.
