Wikipedia: Atelectasis is defined as a state in which the lung, in whole or in part, is collapsed or without air.
I was trying to think of a way to use that word at lunch. "I was jogging up this hill, huffing and puffing... I thought I was suffering from atelectasis!", but "heart attack" would have been better. Much too long for Scrabble!
xanthous
"I was jogging up this hill, huffing and puffing... I thought I was suffering from atelectasis and when I turned totally xanthous I knew it was time to take a break". That might work...
