Insomnomaniac

What do you do when you can’t sleep? When I can’t, I make up words and submit them to Urban Dictionary. Last month I tried to get Turkaphobia approved, but they denied it. My definition was ‘fear of cooking the Thanksgiving turkey’, which I happily overcame. I am guessing it had something to do with not being politically correct.

No not towards turkeys, but towards the country.

I am happy to report that this month’s submission – insomnomaniac – has been approved. I am not so happy to report that there is a typo in the sentence that I used in the example where ‘an’ is featured as ‘and’.

For those who can not read the picture above the definition is:

One who can’t sleep and becomes obsessed with late night activities.

Define obsessed.

    Love Turkaphobia. Sorry UD did not approve (though you are probably right about their reasoning). Am also extremely impressed by your late-night productivity. (Heck, I’m a writer and am not nearly that creative during the day.) Guess you’re not a candidate for sleep camp, huh? 😉

    Excellent! Too bad it didn’t happen in time to make the Urban Dictionary calendars I bought for Christmas gifts. I could have written on the page that had your word that I know you!! Have to buy next year’s edition too.
