In a sentence:
"The Gösgen plant's thiccc hyperboloid cooling tower loomed over the river loop, its curves daring the Swiss sky to keep up."
Etymology:
From Greek hyperbolē meaning 'excess' and -oid indicating 'form or shape', combined with English 'cooling tower'. Honestly, it's just showing off at this point.
The real curvature and hourglass silhouette are documented and sufficient. 'Daring the Swiss sky' is poetry and the catalogue does not license weather.
Yes. Hyperboloid Cooling Tower was admitted to the Thiccctionary on July 21, 2026 and filed in the Architecture & Infrastructure section. The ruling on file: Admitted, with a footnote. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
