Noting your comment from last time: "logo" comes from logos, the greek word for "word" and evulsive means that something is being turned inside out :)
Good news The specialist, after less time that Margaret and Theresa had really expected, got to his feet with effort: grunting and gasping, and using his hands to haul himself up. Then he pulled something shaped and coloured like a thermos flask with the Tim Horton's logo on it from his waist-band, twisted the top left and right a number of times in what looked like a very practiced motion, and then pointed it at the incursion happening at the Scrabble table. After four seconds the whole room seemed to darken and red colour seemed to bleed over everything, but it soaked into the ground and walls and gradually faded away, taking with it the strange creatures, Claire, her husband and the scrabble board they'd been using. "There's a side-effect," said the specialist, turning to look at them, "which is that we lose a word from the world when we do that, so this will be the last time you ever hear, see, or use the word morning."
Well, morning is quite the word to lose! I like that using that... thing... has such dire consequences. And that it's been used often enough that it's consequences are well known.

Greg - ah, thank you. I think?
