Thank you Dr J.

HYPOmania actually does make sense. Hypo, the prefix, would connote something low or below normal – e.g. hypoglycemia, hypothyroid etc. So (hypo) mania would be (less than) mania – but more than normal. Because we’re used to referring to people as hyperactive, or just generally “hyper”, hypermania looked right.

The much maligned and misunderstood skunk is actually a beneficial creature. Peaceable and solitary by nature but not unfriendly – in fact quite playful at times. She avoid confrontations whenever possible, but if necessary, can and will stand her ground, give fair warning, then raise an unholy stink.
