I would love to see some ES-inspired commercials once this video spooled up...like a Ginsu-style treatment for the Fork of Horripilation, or a travel video to lure travelers off to Riften.

As Halo made their way through the haunted house, they began to feel their skin prickle. Looking over their shoulder, Halo could swear that someone was following them. There in the darkness was something waiting.

"Look at my arm."
They saw the goosebumps, the #horripilation all over his skin. It looked like a rash, every hair stood on end.
"Temperature's dropped twenty degrees," the leader said. "Something's coming, something really big."
They shivered in the cold and waited.

The medical terms for goosebumps are piloerection, horripilation, and cutis anserina. These terms describe the involuntary contraction of tiny muscles attached to hair follicles, which causes the hairs to stand on end and the skin to become bumpy. Piloerection: This is a very common term, derived

Ah, yes. The Fork of Horripilation. I have heard rumors about it. It appears that Lord Sheogorath has returned it to the Isles.;well-spoken, measured speech

Draft No. 4: On the Writing Process, John McPhee
Those who know me know I'm more a talker than a writer, but that just makes it that much more joyful to see a master at work.
The teacher lets you see him sweat a little in this memoir of his writing process. Left me swept by horripilation.

I love a new word. @vajra.me gifted me ‘horripilation’ and I will be grateful forever. I recently gave someone ‘anodyne’ and they loved it. So I’m here for the learns. But I can see why people get scared, too. It’s not the words. It’s the recognition of a limit, and feeling you can’t have/be more.

horripilation longueur (n.) -- from L. horrere, to bristle + pilus, hair + Fr. longueur, a tedious stretch. Gooseflesh raised by boredom rather than dread; the skin standing at attention while the mind goes slack. Fig., the body's mutiny against a meeting with no agenda and no end.

In case you want more words to express your reaction to these daily affronts:
Horripilations
the erection of hairs on the skin due to cold, fear, or excitement.
"a horripilation of dread tingled down my spine"

I suppose that "dark matter" is meant to capture this murkier dynamic where some small slice of taboo-driven guys like Bryon Noem have a secret kink thing, then there's a pemumbra-halo of shocked gossip that drives more taboo. After all, is not horripilation the second cousin of erection?

I'm horrified but it's an admiring kind of horripilation because of your commitment to the bit

Off to see my neurologist this morning, so a good chance to use words like BORBORYGMUS (grumbling in intestines), XEROSIS (very dry skin), OBDORMITION (numb limbs), HORRIPILATION (goosebumps) and to generally describe my illness as PROCTALGIA (a literal pain in the butt 😂)
