At Manic Indolence, we are all about the research.
Reading about sneezing educated me. After I accomplished my goal of determine sneeze velocities, I kept reading. I learned of the photic sneeze reflex. I also learned about the backronym SNATIATION - a combination of the words sneeze and satiation.
from wikipedia: SNATIATION is a medical disorder characterized by uncontrollable bursts of sneezing brought on by fullness of the stomach, and typically observed in sufferers immediately after a large meal….
…(t)he term "SNATIATION" … stands for Sneezing Non-controllably At a Time of Indulgence of the Appetite—a Trait Inherited and Ordained to be Named.
I don't think I've ever experienced snatiation. Besides my sun-induced sneezing fits, though, I am prone to sneeze (generally 3 consecutive loud blasts) when it most inconvenient...passing other cars at high speed, or just before I am supposed to shake someone hand.
So it could just as well be: Sneezing Non-controllably, Always at a Time of Inconvenience and Also a Terror-Inducing or Offputting eNdeavor.
