Auditory Dyslexia noun, \ aw-di-tawr-ee dis-lek-see-uh\

(common use term coined by friends after several cocktails for when your friend tells you for example "you've got Auditory Dyslexia" and what you hear is them telling you "You oughta be sexier"; which then leads to a lot of confusion and disappointment that they don't like your cute new outfit and how rude of them to mention it when they know you've been trying hard to lose those 5 extra pounds. hmph).

ex.1 The symptoms of auditory dyslexia embarrassingly manifested for the first time when Susan heard the Canadian national anthem's opening line of "O Canada, we stand on cars and freeze"

ex. 2 Eric's confusion was complicated by his auditory dyslexia when he realized that Josh was not actually singing "F@#$ you Molly Dentro".

Grobanite, noun \gro-ba-nit\

def. Igneous multicolored substance discovered in 1999. Extremely resilient in its natural state, this substance has an uncommonly low melt point. May be reduced to liquid form by prolonged exposure to sound (G2 to B5 flat in particular may produce a "weeping" effect). Highly combustible when exposed to acid. This highly durable material's uses include production of platinum records, award statuettes and orphanage foundations

Caution: Grobanite is extremely hazardous to computer servers; may produce uncontrollable symptoms (again, "weeping", see above) in IT departments. Even short term exposure to grobanite has been known to elicit grobonics and symptoms of operalalia. The exact method of transmission is unknown but scientists theorize grobanite is formed through the process of joshmosis.

I love this thread!! And boy can I relate to it! Especially the bit about loudly singing lyrics in a foreign language, when you have no idea what they mean. I guess we all do it?! It's funny how my previously non-existant Portugese has come on a treat since acquiring this latest album....

I hear it leads to severe Grobanitis. I have suffered from this disorder for approximately a decade. I have been in Josherapy with the best Josherapist I could find, but it only seems to get worse and worse. Or is that better and better? Some of the symptoms are: inability to carry on a conversation without slipping Josh into the conversation, running around with earbuds stuck nearly permanently in your ears and there is nothing on the ipod but Josh, you walk the streets of town singing Josh songs at the top of your lungs and don't care that people think you are certifiable. Your wallet is filled with pictures of..you guessed it, Josh.No room for him and the relatives, you know.!And that is just the tip of the iceberg. The walls over your desk, where once gramma and gramps looked down at you in beautiful frames...there now hangs a Josh poster, no two...no...three!!!...and posters.!! Everywhere there is a spot..posters, photos...Josh. All Josh!!! Mwahahahahahahah!!!! But being crazy over Josh is most certainly a good kinda crazy to be!!!.

joshmosis, noun \ josh-mo-sis

Process of amplification by which feelings move from a lesser concentration to a higher concentration. This process is achieved through vocal concentration of feelings of euphoria, affection and excitement which are passed melodically from the performer (aka The Groban), magnified by sound waves, transmitted through the ear drum thereby stimulating the laudatory cortex, and in turn inducing the listener to increasingly heightened levels of affection, euphoria and excitement which are then transmitted back to the performer through screams, whistles, hoots and an abundance of poster waving.

Extreme cases of joshmosis, may manifest in a plethora of light sticks. In exceptionally rare cases, some pitiful sufferers of joshmosis lose all reason, attempt to grasp the gro-buns and must be treated with an immediate dose of Dennisillin.
