Pronunciation: Milky-Haze

Sentence: Jim was getting sick of his wife telling him what to do, so he finally lost it and gave her a good yelling. Not pleased with the tone Jim was giving her, she reached in the cupboard, grabbed a frying pan and gave Jim a piece of her mind. It took almost a whole day for Jim to loose the Milkyhaze surrounding his vision.

Etymology: a mix of Milky, from the Milky Way (It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies. Also where our solar system resides) and Haze (vagueness or obscurity, as of the mind or perception; confused or vague thoughts, feelings, etc.)
