Thermostenosis


noun. the inability to maintain one’s body temperature, or subjective sense of temperature in a comfortable range. i have frequently used this word to describe my wife’s tendency to be a little bit too cold or a little bit too hot. but my mother in law takes the cake; peri-menopausal women tend to suffer from this condition disproportionately as hot flashes may prevent them from tolerating anything but the most climate controlled air conditioned environment.
a notable figure in literature whose thermostenosis deterred him from bathing properly or frequently is shel silverstein’s dirty dan: “oh, i’m dirty dan, the world’s dirtiest man, i never have taken a shower. i can’t see my shirt–it’s so covered with dirt, and my ears have enough to grow flowers. but the water is either a little too hot, or else it’s a little too cold.”
