Abattoir Blues
From the song by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, used to describe the depressed feeling you get about the modern world in general. An abattoir is a slaughterhouse, so the term, in a more in depth way, means you feel the world is lining itself up for slaughter, much like cows do at a slaughterhouse.
Man 1: Hey, are you all right? You've seemed kinda depressed lately.
Man 2: Oh, it's okay, I've just got a case of abattoir blues.

Acttechenacting
The word “acttechenacting” or “acttechenactic” in its adjective form has come into being through my evolutions of observing teaching.
Acttechenacting is defined as: one’s ability to perform in a manner that conveys knowledge pertaining to technology. This is a form of word evolution, and the word can be broken down into its constituent roots of ‘act’, ‘technology’, ‘enact’ and ‘ic’. Acttechenacting encompasses the evolutionary process of adaptation; to have various unconscious acts of technology evolve into rehearsed conscious acts of knowing within the classroom. But teaching should not stop there, instead it should prosper into a fluidity-like state similar to the dynamic term acttechenacting. This unconscious to conscious evolution taking place within the individual, is constantly adapting to suit the needs of the educational environment.

acartohygieiophobia
(n.) The morbid fear of running out of toilet paper. From the Greek, literally "absence of paper for hygiene purposes, fear of."
An abnormal and persistent concern about the possibility of being without toilet paper at the vital moment. Highly variable in severity, can range from merely accumulating and storing excessive supplies of toilet paper to at the most extreme end, a need to stock up "just in case" every time the person goes past a shop, even though the house is already full of the stuff.
Milder forms of toilet paper anxiety not fulfilling criteria for the full-blown disorder include obsessions with whether the paper comes off the roll from the top or underneath, and changing rolls around when they are on the "wrong" way.
