Invent a word. Just make one up. Something pleasing to the ear.
Here's mine.

Solistaris (soh-liss-tahr-us)

I think, in the far future, when solar engineers can manipulate the lives of stars, a Solistaris will represent the state at which a star becomes accelerated through artificial manipulation.
"Yeah, that was when Mettula Orionsis went solistaris"

14. Is this good for Scrabble?
Off thread: I thought "epizootic" was a word Dad made up, until I was 18. "Chiaroscuro", I think that's a real word too.

Honka Bonka Dinka Lieka. My little brother's favorite curse.

Hi, Brucie.;)

15. Chiaroscuro is real. My word: Quagmoo
Chiaroscuro is a method developed by Italian Renaissance artists to depict dramatic light and shadow.
Quagmoo is a word my friends use to describe blending or harmony. When driving we would shout, "Hey idiot, why don't you quagmoo with traffic!"
