Ignertia 

Ignertia: the inertia of ignorance.
The initial small motion of considering “I might be wrong” is the theoretically infinite barrier to overcoming ignertia.

Words you can keep
Simple terms: The 'reason' that to why you have to use some sort of effort to move or stop something like an object.

The law/principle of inertia states that a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external non zero force.

Don't confuse this with momentum
Due to inertia, a moving body in space (ie a vacuum) will not stop or deviate unless another non zero force acts on it (eg gravity)

inertiatic 

Taken from The Mars Volta album "De-Loused From The Comatorium" and linked to the word Inertia (the feeling of not being able to do anything, like there's no will to do anything). Possibly the way you are feeling at the time.
"Dude.. I dunno.. I've just been feeling really inertiatic lately.. Like, I won't even get up in the morning.."

Relationship Inertia 

In the absence of an external force, a relationship in motion tends to stay in motion. This is when a couple has been together for a long time, and even though they don't seem overly happy with the situation, they stay in the relationship because why not. They are comfortable and probably too scared to experience a dramatic change and take their chances alone or with someone else. When asked, they individually might say that they do not want to marry their current significant other, but they have no plans to end the relationship and everyone pretty much assumes they will in fact get married even though their relationship has lacked a spark for quite a while. Eventually the urge to experience what life outside of the stagnant relationship has to offer is overcome by the fear that now it might be too late or not worth it and so people often succumb to RI, accepting lifelong mediocrity, perpetual what-ifs, and inevitable divorce down the road. RI usually causes more strife for all parties in the long run than it does if an individual acts proactively to avoid it and deals with the short term consequences. The longer RI exists, the more difficult it is to escape mentally, emotionally, and socially because of the awkwardness it would cause among family and friends if the relationship ended abruptly, as well as the overwhelming and growing guilt felt by the person who decides to end it.
Relationship inertia is sometimes seen when a couple gets into a serious relationship at a young age, such as in high school, and then stays together for many years and/or through college even if they have outgrown each other, especially if one or both of the individuals' only sexual partner has been the other in which case anxiety about sexual experience and an overly-stressed sense of loyalty also stabilize RI.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
