Sfunning



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.
