Coinage!


Great news: there's a hot new word coming your way. Get your vocabulary to do some stretches, because it is about to expand.
It

is

heightmare.

A horrifying dream! Perhaps your spine has collapsed and you've lost several inches. Suddenly you are reduced to a pathetic specimen who needs help getting tupperware down from the top shelf (this is my waking nightmare, sigh). Or maybe you've shot up, and now have to stoop to get through doorways. Or maybe you are a retired San Francisco detective, dangerously obsessed with Kim Novak. Of course the damn woman leads you to terrifying heights. Aieee!
