ennui

A sense of apathy and lassitude brought about by either societal or personal stagnation. Akin to languor, but more closely tied to existentialism and post-war Europe.
As seen in the film L'Avventura, by Michelangelo Antonioni. As characterized in post-war European literature.

whimit

Astoria

2. A Medievalesque town in western Queens which lacks only the proverbial walled fortress to complete its backwards image.
