    Coledrom [noun Cohl-drum]

    That feeling you get when driving through Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio and you haven’t seen anything but mines for miles and miles. Similar to the Corndrom experienced in parts of Kansas and Iowa, or Sandrom in Arizona and New Mexico.

    Driving through Scranton the Coledrom set in and I couldn’t shake it off until I got to New York and civilization.

    coledrom [CO-leh-drome noun]
    Literary term referring to phrases which use colors

    "Bobby, your poems would be better if they used fewer coledroms," Mrs. Smith said. "I'm not sure you should be feeling blue, seeking silver linings, and bemoaning your black heart, all in one stanza."

    coledrom [noun kəl-DRAHM] A rare cabbage variety with a single hump sticking out of it, noted for its ability to store fifteen times its weight in water.

    I had never heard of a coledrom, and got a bit of a shock when a gush of water soaked my shoes as I tried to prepare coleslaw.


    VW: plili [v.i. PLILL-ee] To play in a particularly silly manner.

    Any time I'm feeling down, I know watching a toddler plili about the room will make me feel better.
