Amitanity

Amitanity: noun. The state of being someone's aunt. Although one might think that this could be one of the most useless words ever to exist, one would be wrong to think that. Amitanity is extremely important in some cultures, such as the Fon people and the Bariba people of Benin. In those cultures amitanity can determine marriage, education, social status and size of papaya. Whether one's aunt is a good or bad aunt to have is determined by the amitanity of that aunt and so on. This means that at some point it all lead back to one or two aunts, but that is all just speculation.
