Howarella

Howarella: noun. An affectionate name for a flamenco dancer or a person suffering from a greeting disorder. The first meaning is not as common as the second meaning, which is widely used since the times of Freud. When used to denote a person suffering from a greeting disorder, the verb associated with howarella takes the future pluperfect form as shown in the following sentence: “I will meet a howarella yesterday.” The condition from which howarellas suffer is coincidentally also known as howarella, which may lead to misunderstandings, especially when talking to flamenco dancers at the same time. Howarella, (this time used to denote the greeting disorder) is a contagious disease that is transmitted by greetings and handshakes. Its symptoms include saying “hello” in the most inappropriate situations and not being able to let go of a hand that is being shaken.
