Narrowbinded
Created by: thegoatisbad
Pronunciation: nhar-oh-byn-ded
Sentence: Zinnia liked to think of herself as open-minded but her commute to work, via public transport, had slowed changed her mind. Indeed, she was now so anxious of being narrowbinded that she would go to great lengths to assure a seat by herself. The fake dog stool she found at a gag shop was a good deterrent, but she left it on too many buses and was arousing suspicion among the drivers. She finally discovered that the best way to protect her person space from breech was to softly sing while eating canned tuna.
Etymology: narrow (small space) + binded (sic. secure by tying) play on "narrow minded"

Interesting combo! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-29: 09:12:00
I first thought of your word as seat attraction which would make sense if the seat on either side got closer - great word - Jabberwocky, 2008-01-29: 13:28:00
good word! twelve hours in traction after the flight to straighten out the limbs would do the trick... but not with the 300 pounders as the weights! - bananabender, 2008-01-29: 22:21:00
John - Go by sea next time ! good word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-01-30: 16:17:00
