Aha! Just sent off my rant-post of the day, when...what should  appear in the 
inbox but the 'word of the day', which is...!! 
Cockaigne \kah-KAYN\,  noun: 
An imaginary land of ease and luxury. 
Outside, in the dark, a wobbly patch of life upon the blue snow, the deer  
perhaps browsed, her soft blob of a nose rapturously sunk in the chilly 
winter  
greenery, her modest brain-stem steeped in some dream of a  Cockaigne for 
herbivores.
