R is for RHINOTILLEXOMANIA
Righty-o! Let's rock-'n-roll. But first… rapid revision required. Are you relieved, rattled, or revved up and ready to rendezvous on R-Day? It rushes in and raises the realisation that rest, relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation are required to recover as the the raw and rattled nerves resist… reluctant and resenting the daily ritual. Reminder: responsible posting = roaring results. You'll reap the rewards.

The word for Day 18 is—
RHINOTILLEXOMANIA
The gradual and incurable mental, psychological and emotional deterioration experienced by rhinoceros poachers, who suffer with never-ending nightmares and hallucinations which are the result of their terrible and inexcusable activities.
So that's my definition. What's yours? Post it in the comment box below. Remember you stand to win a prize.
I was thinking more along the lines of Mad Rhino Disease…
Have the mad cows passed the disease along to the rhinos…?
I'd love to live in a world where rhino poachers end up suffering, they deserve it!! Bastards!!!
Appropriate expletive! You're actually letting them off lightly…
The mania to stick your finger in your nose. 🙂
Maybe. Possibly. Could be. Who nose? 🙂
I vote Rhinotillexamania ends up referring to a time people all over the world, fanatically united in their fight, to pick out the people who poach… and that time is now. Great word, great message.
A welcome global frenzy! Bring on the mania and let's rid the world of this scourge!
Rhinotillexomania is the fear of nonstop sneezing suffered by people with chronic allergies.
These people should practise holding in their breathe… mania solved!
It's the mental disease where people believe their noses are growing long and sharp! 🙂
…also commonly referred to as the "Pinnochio Syndrome"… 🙂
Horn up the arse payback syndrome?
Bullseye! *hilarious mental image flashes before eyes*
Sounds like an advertisment for a flooring store. "Come down this weekend for Rhino Tillex-O-Mania!"
Rhino-patterned outdoor paving for your entertainment area, bringing the wild right to your doorstep… I can just see it…
Relaxing on my restful rotunda.
Reminisce as you rest… reverie take you away…
Your definition is perfect. Poachers make me ill!
There are no words to describe the cruelty… 🙁
Rhinotillexomania: (noun): The state of insanity caused by a crazy itchy nose during a nose job.

Blame it on the anaesthetist… well, somebody's gotta take the blame. LOL
Actually, if you really look at the word, it's fairly clear what it means. It's a strong obsession to pick in, at or tug on your nose.
Awww! What happened to your weird, whacky and wonderful definition?
Hey, I get tired too! Sometimes it's enough to just get a fitting definition in, and too much to try and be funny. Maybe it's an emotional roundabout I'm going through. My posts lately have been on the serious side.
The need to put small objects up ones nose. Can you tell I've got a nose for these definitions? (:
You sure are a nosy gal! Everybody nose this… LOL
That's a good one. Here's mine:
Rhinotillexomania: A type of plastic surgury madness where a fenzy of people decide to extends and lifts the nose and eventually sucumb to vanity and snobery.
Used in a sentence: Rhinotillexomania decended upon the doctor's office after his staff created a discount for plastic surgury services.
I think this mania originated in Hollywood!
Quite simply, Rhinotillexomania is the excessive fear of large noses.
You mean, as in "rhino-shaped noses"? LOL
I thought of Mina's, too, and Rhino tiles. Hmm. How about obsessive nose piercing/rings.
That could work too. A cool definition.
This is a condition in which a person is obsessed with their prickly, scaly skin.
Yours is best, but I love Mina's too.
Whatever it is, it'll undoubtedly be included in the DSM V!
DSMV? I'm lost… my brain is non-functional… it's been "fried" by the A to Z challenge.
