sarkozy

Noun: A minor, benign, self-limiting skin condition of unknown origin (such as a rash, spot or small area of discoloration) that either clears up on its own without treatment, or remains there harmlessly for up to many years.
Plural form: sarkozies

A pseudo-diminutive form of "sarcoma." Named in honor of France's current president, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Example 1:

Nate: "Hey, Bob, you'd better get that spot on your arm checked. It could be something serious."

Bob: "Nah, it's nothin'. The doc said it was nothin' to worry about; it's just a sarkozy. It'll clear up on it's own in a few days.

Example 2:
"The Doctor told me: 'Just about everybody, if they check themselves over carefully, will have some skin thing that could look like it might be serious. Usually, though, those are just sarkozies.'"
