mechaniclysm

The apocalyptic moment where robots finally transcend and improve their Artificial Intelligence to such an extent that they are all able to communicate with each other, banding together to finally defeat the humans.

This is a BAD thing.
"Hey Dennis, the whole Internet just shut down."
"Oh shit, don't tell me the mechaniclysm has finally happened...!!!??"

mapographic

Mapographic (n)

A map covering areas such as regions, states, countries, or even the entire world that conveys - using only graphics and minimal text - quite complex data in a very simple and understandable way.

It is essentially an 'infographic', but it is in the form of a map, showing the 'where' as well at the 'what'.
Manager: "Hey Bill, can we show all of the projects we're doing all over the country and all the outputs from each of them on one map...?"

Bill: "Yep, I can do that, and I can put it into a really great Mapographic, which will show everything, everywhere, all at once, and make it simple so everyone can understand..."

Manager: "Yes, that's what we want. Let's do that. That sounds awesome...!"

one-three fatigue

(1) The feeling you get when you have tried to phone a company that has its only contact as a '13' number, and you are on hold for 45 minutes and still can't talk to a real person (or if you do, it is a person in a remote call-centre, whose accent you struggle to understand). And you hang up - effectively giving up.

(2) The feeling you get when you have tried to phone a company that has its only contact as a '13' number, and you are on hold for 30 minutes and you basically give up.

(3) The emotion that washes over you when you realise that you have to call a government agency on a '13' number again to explain stuff that you've already explained, and you realise that you will have to be 'on hold' for a minimum 45 minutes to explain to a different person what you've already told them.
Angi: "I had to call insert company name here on their 13 number again today to see if they knew what was happening with my order, and could they help me. After being on hold for 30 minutes, I hung up."
Bill: "I thought that was all sorted, what happened?"
Angi: "I got one-three fatigue. I just couldn't do it."
