dancelex - words we have to live by...

[elisedance]

This thread springs from a number of earlier posts where we have coined new words that are just essential for dance. We can call this 'dancelex' (dance-lexicon) - not to be confused with dancesex, which is a different language altogether.

The latest came up with trying to the amazing sensation that pain and ills disappear once one gets on the dance floor. A few tries between bordertangoman, nucat and myself resultsd in:

'dancnesia' (nucat) - but I think that sounds better for that aching sensation after doing too many lowerings,
'Dance(an)-esthesia' or 'dancesthesia' from BTM - pretty good but a bit of a mouthful
'danceodyne' (BTM) but I think that sounds more like dancer's teeth-cleaning chewing gum!
'dancealgesia' (me) which I think works the best but may not be the most amusing...


So: this thread is for your word needs or word coinages. Pose a word then give us a situation/observation that needs one.....

Word needed:
A limb from another couple materializes between you and your partner duing a dance...

I had this idea for a thread where we write a play Shakespeare style so all the threads go along side the lines of.....

MERCUTIO: Fair Samina what ails though?

It needn't be in Ironic Parabola
but must be witty as In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
