Sfunning: verb.
The act of being entertained by the Sun or running inside a sphere. The former
definition describes a serious mental disorder revealing itself through
symptoms like laughing violently at sunrises and sunsets or feeling the urge to
dance the tarantella on a sunny day. The latter definition denotes the hopeless
state one is in when trying to escape from a spherical shape, making it turn
round and round wildly. It is not known why this word is used to describe such
different states one can be in, though it is widely acknowledged that both are
rather piteous. Legend has it, however, that when the word was first used, it
described a person who suffered from both conditions. Scientists researching
his behaviour came to the wrong conclusion that both conditions were connected
and fused them together into one, which was an elementary and un-scientific thing
to do.
