Is this perhaps a new slang work meaning SKewed - cEILING ?
As for BANs question about when a ceiling becomes a wall - good question, I`d never thought of that.
I suppose we could refer back to a sphere or a cylinder and place an imaginary level square inside it and say from the four corners that intersect on the circle denotes which are wall and which are ceilings - OK simple so far.
With sloping ceilings or wall then I think it might be either :-
anything within 45 degrees of vertical is a wall and anything within within 45 degrees of horizontal is a ceiling
or alternatively
anything within x degrees of vertical is a wall anything withing x degrees of horizontal is a ceiling and any other angle between those two is a "Skeiling" or some such other term. Only problem is do we define X as 10 degrees or 20 or ....... ?
Back to the OP
Why don`t you consult your local building control officer with your concerns?
Nor has I until this topic, and as soon as I did I envisaged a semi-circular structure like a Nissen hut.

With loft conversions didn't there used to be either a rule about minimum floor area, or a method for calculating effective floor area which looked at the plane that intersected the roofline at a height of x above the finished floor level?
Maybe that plane could define the boundary between walls and ceiling?
