AGASTOPIA
Everyone knows that to be in �Utopia � is to be in a state of absolute perfection.
By contrast, to be in �Dystopia � is to be in a state of absolute imperfection.
If you are in a state whch is midway between these two extremes, you are in a state of �Neutropia � ... you have the best of both worlds.
At this point, I must apologise, (particularly to lady-Members of ESLP), if my explanation contains some rather �rude words �. My defence is, that this topic of discussion was NOT chosen by me, but was chosen by another Member.
"AGASTOPIA � is a neutropian condition affecting one of the human bodily functions.
It is related to flatulence!
That is ... the noisy expelling of obnoxious-smelling intestinal gases from a specific part of the human body, in order to relieve stomach pain.
Many people regard this action as vulgar, unpleasant, and embarrassing.
Every good book on Etiquette strongly advises against it: "Flatulence will get you nowhere!"
I am happy to inform you that A-GAS-TOPIA, because it is a neutropian condition, allows this bodily function to be performed silently, and without any smell.
Consequently, it is a relief for the audience, combined with relief for the sufferer.
