Mensa Word List: Hip Lash

What does one call the injuries one gets from an elevator that suddenly jerks or when an articulated bus (where one happens to be standing at the extreme rear) hits a pot hole with its last axle?


It's not whip lash, because the injury isn't to the neck or head, since the position one is in is standing: it affects the waist because one's knees are typically locked--according to me its called HIP LASH...ask me how I know! I'm sure this would qualify for the mensa word list (for example, Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period), as it's only a removal or insertion of one letter to create a new meaning of a word or phrase. Any other suggestions, wordies?

So back to the Hip Lash I incurred: Think of instant compression of the Thorasic-Lumbar directly into the saccral-coccix....yet my feet never actually left the "ground". Those of you who have traveled in a bus on cobblestones, particularly in front of the Royal Palace on the way to the European Commission Buildings will know EXACTLY what I experienced today...AARRRRGH!

Matthew and I were laughing and almost crying at the same time because it was so rediculous with our "bus surfing"! Due to the crowds, the boys were seated but the adults had long ago given up their seats to other transit riders, inspite of our Christmas packages. When this extra-long bus went around a corner Matthew and I became intimate in an instant way...not that I minded, but it was a public place, recall! I think the 1.60 Euro I spent was a better ride than any I've had in a carnival or fall fair...now if only it came with included padding and contraception?
