Word of the Day: sternutation

sternutation (n)

The act or sound of sneezing.

"The omnipresent Tabby seemed to delight in Humphrey's sternutation."
--Leahcim Setag, Strange Loops

I rarely sneeze, but people around me seem to do it constantly*. I'm tired of blessing them -- how did that get started anyway? Who am I to confer blessings?

*Just had a scary thought -- could people actually be allergic to me?
