YatobyO to Ozonide....any of a series of compounds formed by the action of ozone on unsaturated organic compounds. Glad ya liked HYSTRICOMORPHIC.... for anyone else wondering about that one; my dictionary says....designating or of a suborder of rodents, (kinda like Acorn Americans!) including the porcupines and chinchillas. Not all dictionaries include ALL words! For example mine does NOT have the word YATOBYO in it. Though I will take your word that it is a REAL word and not something you uttered while in a drunken stupor from eating too many rum filled cupcakes that the Hystricomorphic/Acorn Americans and you made awhile back! HANK. Hey...here is a strange. When I hit spell check, it flagged my second spelling of Hystricomorphic, but DID NOT flag the all capital spelling of the word. HANK.

On second thought....Are you sure Travis wasn't on the computer again? I mean, his spelling was none too good the last time he got on, and YATOBYO could translate from Acorn American to english as Ya Toby, Oh!! (my head hurts!! should of never ate all those cupcakes!!)

Hank, you probably won't find Yatobyo in most dictionaries, altho it IS a real word. ( Honestly....I was sober, and Travis isn't even allowed in the same ROOM as the computer! ) It's a medical condition, more commonly known as 'Rabbit Fever'. Ivy has several medical dictionaries, so I can have lots of fun with them! And you'd better back off of those cupcakes, buddy. EVERY dictionary has the word 'Hangover!' Ozonide to Extraterritoriality....got that one out of the plain ol' dictionary!

ExtraterritorialitY to Yttrium. a rare trivalent, silvery, metallic chemical element. used in color TV tubes and gemstones. HANK.
If we play this game long enough, we will have a vocabulary of totally unpronounceable words! Most of em sound like the name of some alien species one would encounter in a SciFi or fantasy novel.

Yttrium to Marasmus And yeah, Hank, we will..why do you think I get such a kick out of this?! ;D Marasmus, by the way, is a medical term for extreme starvation. And come to think of it, Yttrium WOULD make a good fantasy/sci-fi name! Infinitely better than one I found in a Terry Brooks novel....he actully named a wizard Al Anon! ( Can't you just admit to the drinking problem, Terry?! )

Marasmus to Sclera- the firm outer coat of the eye continuous with the cornea,visible as the white of the eye.
Went and looked through some of the books we have picked up over the years that we had got for some of the kids when they were in a certain point with their lives and livelyhood.

Depression to Nystagmus....an involuntary rapid movement of the eyeball, usually from side to side.
Yeah Dill, ya sometimes can't help but chuckle about some of the names you come across in books or TV shows. Like the wizard Al Anon! Another one that cracks me up is Sara Sidle from CSI, a perfectly OK name, but I can't help but wonder if she has a sister named Sue A ***** get it? ;D HANK.

Sty to Yanqui...citizen of the U.S. as distinguished from a Latin American. Huh! Been a yanqui all my life and never knew it!
Hank, yeah, I got Sara Sidle's name first time I saw the show. CSI does that a lot, especially with guest stars. And then there's Without A Trace, with 'Sam' ( Samantha ) Spade......................

Dill. that is the oddest damn spelling of yankee i ever did see, where the hell did you come up with that one? HANK.
