Pronunciation: trouməəsträləjē

Sentence: Sidney (aka Lumpy) is working on a new field of study, traumastrology. It is the study of how a person is effected by the alignment of the stars that occur just after a blow to the head. He has worked for years to perfect just the right whack to the noggin. Too little and there are no stars, too much and the ability to gather data is lost. His theory is that a Pisces would react differently than a Taurus to the same concussive event. He may never know. He just can't seem to recruit test subjects. Friends think he has studied a bit too much on his own.

Etymology: trauma (physical injury) + astrology (the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world)

Sentence: n: Astroknockles are a sign of severe head trauma. v: Are you just going sit there and astroknockle all day or are you going hit me back?

Etymology: A hybrid of two words. Astro represents the common celestial anomalies seen when experiencing severe head trauma. The second part of the word, knockle, is a spin off the word knock, the action that normally causes the said celestial anomalies.

Etymology: A Play on Big Bang Theory + Big + Bang + Birds >>>Big (above average in size or number or quantity or magnitude or extent)Bang (strike violently,the swift release of a store of affective force) Birds (warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings) Big Bang Theory (The theory that the universe was once clustered and at the 'beginning' it exploded out, as shown by the fact that objects are still moving)...In this case, those objects happen to be birds!!

Sentence: Just as Newton was inspired to study gravity by being bombarded with apples, and Einstein encouraged to investigate the relativity of time by being forced to fill out dreary piles of paperwork in an office, so too was the the young Carl Sagan influenced by an outside event. After banging his head on a low shelf, he saw a personal 'bonkmos' of amazing brightness and detail, which led him to a career in science and experimentation with certain herbal supplements, all in an effort to recreate the 'little twittery cosmos' he saw on that long ago day.

Etymology: bonk + cosmos
