NaNo definitions

I did do a quick search, but this doesn't seem to have been done before. I was a bit surprised, but that leaves the field clear for me!

You see, I was inspired by the fact that NaNoWriMo is affectionately shortened to NaNo to go looking for nano-style words. There are heaps! And then I wrote my own definitions for them... (Unfortunately I couldn't find a way of adding this into my novel to increase my word count.)

P.S.: I would just like to affirm that these are all real words. I didn't make them up (any of them).

NaNo definitions

NaNite – a lunatic who eschews the world for the month of November in favour of pursuing ridiculous word goals.

NaNobiology – biology that has absolutely no basis in reality that is invented by a NaNite during November in a hurry because research is forbidden. See also: NaNophysics, NaNotechnology, NaNoscience.

NaNochip – junk food eaten to keep the brain spewing out words.

NaNocomputer – the usual instrument of choice for NaNites.

NaNobot – inhuman person capable of writing 50,000 words in five days or less.

NaNogram – a measure of the weight a NaNite gains during November through going to too many write-ins and eating too much sugar thereat.

NaNomagnetism – the force of attraction of NaNoWriMo (greater than any other known force in the universe) that brings NaNites back every year (despite having a real life and important commitments) and drives them on through the month.

NaNomaterials – anything and everything that can be put into a novel.

NaNomechanics – brave people who go back to tinker on their novel after November is over instead of relegating it to the back of a dark closet where it belongs.

NaNomedicine – coffee, sugar, or alcohol, as preferred/needed.

NaNometer – a measuring device that goes from nought to 50,000. Uses the NaNoscale.

NaNoparticles – floating specks of inspiration that tend to collect in high concentrations at write-ins and meet-ups.

NaNophysics – physics that has absolutely no basis in reality that is invented by a NaNite during November in a hurry because research is forbidden. See also: NaNobiology, NaNotechnology, NaNoscience.

NaNoplankton – drifters floating in a great ocean of words.

NaNoring – the growing and darkening stain on a NaNite’s desk from the multiple cups of coffee being consumed during a writing frenzy.

NaNoscale – a measuring system where the basic unit is 1.667. As used for the NaNometer.

NaNoscience – science that has absolutely no basis in reality that is invented by a NaNite during November in a hurry because research is forbidden. See also: NaNobiology, NaNophysics, NaNotechnology.

NaNosecond – a long period of time, such as that a NaNite takes to get ready because of suddenly having a plot idea that needs to be written down (shortened to ‘second’, as in “I’ll just be a second”).

Nanosized – a huge thing, especially of an undertaking.

NaNosomnia – the inability to sleep because of seething story ideas in the brain.

NaNotechnology – technology that has absolutely no basis in reality that is invented by a NaNite during November in a hurry because research is forbidden. See also: NaNobiology, NaNophysics, NaNoscience.

Nanotubule – part of the IV drip a NaNite carries throughout November to directly inject caffeine/alcohol/sugar [delete that which is not appropriate] into their bloodstream.

NaNovolt – the energising jolt of a sudden plot solution.

NaNowired – the state of a NaNite during November, when on a high due to overdoses of caffiene, sugar, and/or alcohol as well as a rising word count.

NaNoworld – a nice, safe place where NaNites live in November that has lots of caffeine/sugar and very few dishes.
