Pronunciation: men-so-PRAN-o-kwee

Sentence: Bob was not going to be baffled by any of those so-called complex "Mensa" questions. A couple of hours of grayplay and all would be solved.

His wife thought that, perhaps, he had attained noetic nirvana, or had even entered a falsetto fantasia whilst accidentally channelling "Tiny Tim"

Etymology: Blending of mens (mind)& soprano + quy (of soliloquy)
