coccydynious

Hate to do this but it doesn't look like this has any currency. lattermint (talk) 14:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I think this is a movie transcript: here. I suspect this may be used as a clever way to say pain in the ass, although even there we would more likely hear coccydynia. Im pretty sure I've seen this in at least one other place, but I cant remember which form of the word it was. —Soap— 15:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I found the webcomic I was thinking of, where a young girl with a love for words calls her older sister a coccydynia during a competition of insults. I suspect the -ous word and perhaps also the -ia word are more often used as a clever way to say "pain in the ass" (adj or noun) than in the literal sense, and that if this word passes RFV it may need a &lit tag for the medical sense since the cites will be for the play on words. —Soap— 17:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I suppose you're right, since it doesn't appear like the word is much (or at all) in medical settings. lattermint (talk) 17:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
