Word of the Week: Algophobia

Defined as:

Fear of pain.

Last Tuesday, HT who boasts she doesn’t suffer from algophobia had to be sedated to get one measly tooth out.

I smacked it hard but it bounced away.

I settled back down, closed my eyes and felt it nipping at my thigh.

Here’s my take.

Word of the Week: Abrosia

Defined as:

Abstinence from food.  Fasting.

Human Translator will be familiar with this word tonight. Abrosia after midnight but she’s already bought two ice creams for after her wisdom tooth extraction. Human, does that mean what little wisdom you had will be gone come tomorrow.

“Perhaps, so I had better kill you while I’m thinking clearly.”
