Cool! I am *so* going to have to go & buy a few of your men’s shirts (I’ve been looking for some new cool stuff to get as most of mine have been around for a few years :) http://www.cafepress.com.au/fighterjox/7744384

Documentation, eh? I’m sure we can create this! I’ll leave the T-shirt as it is then.

Interesting – I’ve only ever heard it referred to as aeroneurophycosis. I did a Google on aeroneuropsychosis and nothing comes up except lots of hits for neuropsychosis in general.

A Google of “phycosis” does return a number of results (if you tell it you really want phycosis, not psychosis :) :) It seems to be related to depression, etc.

Hmmmm :)

I doubt it’ll ever get reinstated without a significant amount of medical literature that can be used as a reference to support it. So, in the meantime, aeroneurophycosis FTW :) :) :)

Just wondering about the spelling of “aeroneurophycosis”… looking at the Wiki deletion log, it looks like it was originally “aeroneuropsychosis”. Difficult to be sure, what with the actual meaning being purged from all of the legitimate dictionaries (why?), and speling aint my strong point. Any thoughts on this discrepancy? (I haven’t heard of a “phycosis”, but “psychoses” are everywhere.)

There may be a case for its re-instatement if it can be demonstrated that the word was in error only because of a misspelling.
