Hoartage
Noun. A perceived shortage of a given item due to hoarding and disruption of local supply logistics rather than an actual diminished supply of the item.
Perceptions of a gas shortage following news of the pipeline closure created a temporary hoartage of gasoline along the Southeast U.S. The surge to all fill up their tanks at the same time created a temporary disruption of local availability despite ample overall supply in the U.S. It was reminiscent of the toilet paper hoartage created by panicked buying early during the Covid-19 pandemic.

What famed venom-harvesters Bill and/or Clarita would have been if any of their poisonous snakes had gotten loose and held them captive against their will.
Da intrepid Miami-based cobra-milker lived to be over a hundred; it's theorized dat da regular venom-inoculations dat he administered to himself may have contributed to send extended existence. Lots of his snakes did bite him during those many decades, but none of them ever held him haastage.
