iraqniphobia

The fear of Iraq and the rest of the middle eastern world due to the mishandling of their home soil. Iraq is simply the poster child. People tend to be afraid of what they don't understand.
America has a severe case of iraqniphobia. America is afraid of Iraq and it's practices because that's what the media spoon feeds them to believe. Sure there's problems, but how many of these problems we're caused by the "mishandling of their home soil?" Granted, there have been improvements since the Iraq "war" began, but all you'll ever hear or read about in the news is "bad news." No one want to report "good news" anymore. It's bad for ratings.

Iraqnids 

Once a term exlcusively used for iraqis, it is more hilariously applied to people from the middle east as a whole. The ignorance of such a statement compounding its comedic effect.

It can also be used to describe Iraqi people that look like various types of spiders, or, inversely, spiders that look like iraqi people

see also Iraqnidphobia: a fear of spiders that resemble middle eastern people, or, a fear of middle eastern people that resemble spiders.
Example #1:

jesus but fucking christ batman! that spider looks like a god damn Iraqi! It has got to be some kind of Iraq-nid.

Example #2:
frantic lady (speaking with pest control): these huge spiders have been living in my basement for the past 2 weeks. They wont leave and it smells like 40 wet golden retrievers shitting on a bunch of dead skunks down there now!

Pest control: those aren't spiders lady those are Iraqis. Iraqnids to be precise.

Lady: What can I do to get rid of them?

pest control: make a cd of current top 40 shitty pop music and play it on repeat until the threat of insanity forces them to leave.

Lady: you're my hero. hows about you play with my butt a little while now?

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
