Curious if this will work...no big if not. But let's see...
A few years ago there was this thing on public radio in Canada, where listeners would send in their ideas to give a proper name to a thing that, while clearly widespread, had no name as yet.
Eg - the thing you slap down on a grocery check out line to separate your groceries from those of the person in line before/after you?
= condimental divide
the mysterious flabby tissue on the underside of your tricep muscle/upper arm?
= armajello
that guy who puts shorts on three weeks before anyone else in the middle of march?
=Panticipation
Sleuthies, I invite you to post either a perfect term for an un-named phenomena, or a phenomena that needs a name.
I'll throw out a couple of the latter:
What is the term for the feeling of sleuthing with 2 FAs?
What is the term for watching a cell phone conversation between two people who are less than fifty yards away from one another?
What is the term for finding money in an article of clothing you haven't worn in a long time?
What is the term for a case you feel pretty sure you're gonna have to quit the minute you check the crime scene when on an Arch Villain hunt?
