Kafkajillion

A number that is so high that umpteen does not begin to describe it. These numbers would be a waste of time to count to.

Derived from Franz Kafka, an author known for such absurdist fiction as The Metamorphosis, The Trial, and a short story about Poseidon being too busy filing sea-paperwork to enjoy his dominion over it.

Whether the k in Kafkajillion should be capitalized (when it's not starting a sentence) is a matter of preference.

Canalley

The state of being chased by dogs through a narrow space, such as an alleyway or the halls of a well-secured building.

Derived from Latin Canis, for dog, and English Alley, for a narrow passageway between buildings.

This word can also be used to describe a state of anxiety that feels equivalent to the state of being chased by dogs.
Anyone who's regularly committed acts of breaking-and-entering has had their fair share of canalley; it's like everyone's a dog person, these days!
