Spent a lot of time looking for the elusive last word (LWS) just to finally have it dawn on me I didn't have CONE! I kept thinking "Is CONED a word?" and I didn't even have CONE.

The only meaning I can think of for 'coned' is 'marked off with traffic cones'.

I'm sure there are other mathematical uses.

You'd be worth a small fortune Gareth :laugh:  (or possibly even a large one!)
It's when you see miles & miles of cones without a workman or a piece of machinery in sight... :(

In my day, no student flat / bedsit was properly furnished without the presence of at least one traffic cone - although none of the occupants of any flat that I ever visited could ever remember how it got there.

Medically, coning refers to the unfortunate and fatal condition when the brain swells and is pushed down through the only opening available, the foramen magnum. The only way to save such a patient is with a craniotomy. I suppose the logical word used for someone suffering this would be "coned".
