workload paralysis

The mental state of being unable to start any individual task because one's "to do" list is so overwhelming. Instead, the person suffering from this condition can only sit there in a position of miserable futility, unwilling to begin so as to delay the increased feelings of hopelessness in their short-term future, knowing that try as they might, a morning's work (with no breaks) will barely a make a dent in their ridiculously excessive list of jobs and, by lunch-time, they'll feel no more satisfied than at present.

Parasiticus

The elusive mexican yellow bellied kokoandrea hydra is name of this rare species. Its scientific name is Andreus Parasiticus Weakan Maleian.

This animal lives, roams and infests homes. Commonly mistaken from an animal from "Where the Wild things are." It is a rare specimen that usually hides in the brush or under the mud and rocks.

It is known as a parasite that attaches itself to weak males. (Similar to the jockey in hit multiplayer game by Valve, Left 4 Dead)

This creature has evolved to live in the homes of humans. It only feeds until its host withered and inches from death then it nurses it back to health..only to feed again later.

The Andreus Parasiticus has an entire family of parasites as well. The most notable being the grandma hydra who lures it's prey with fruit cups and sex.

It is also a creature of habit. It tricks its weak fat male host into treating its parasitic family to various meals usually paid by the flesh n blood of the host.

Scientists have yet to figure out how the Andreus Parasiticus does this. Trickery of the mind? Or does it just wisely choose the weakest minded host?

No Ted, I feel like shit and I can't remember how I got home. I hope I didn't become paralytically incorrect.

paraletic

Typically this is a conscious stage beyond one being extremely drunk. In the strict meaning of the phrase, usually it is pre-determinded to get to the point where one (e.g. a young person downing a bottle of vodka, for example) determines that for kicks it seems very 'young' to get paraletic. For example (and having been there, who hasn't!), the term is frequently used and implemented by young adults who want to enjoy alcoholic experiences of the most extreme. Also, contradictory to the idea, it is very possible to recall having been paraletic. Memory loss can occurr but often the next day or resulting few hours of consciousness (whatever comes first), revealing behavioural flashbacks of this state are oh so much fun to recall! Especially if you did some damage...
