The momentary heart-stop you get when you're looking at pornography and think there's a picture of you up there, and you mentally catalogue whether any ex's may have secretly taken a picture of you without you knowing it and then posted it on the internet.
I was browsing a porn blog when I was struck with an acute case of pronanoia! But I quickly realized I didn't have a twin sister, or a bathtub full of Jell-O.

pronunciation chickenshit 

worried whether to use what you know to be the proper pronunciation of a name and seem pretentious to some, or to use the name’s more common mispronunciation and seem a dunce to others
I’m always a pronunciation chickenshit when it comes to “Vincent van Gogh”.

pornanoia 

Noun: a tendency on the part of an individual or group toward excessive or irrational fear that one has left pornography open on their computer's desktop; that one has left their pornographic magazines out in plain view; that one has left a pornographic DVD in the family room DVD player.
Matt would have had his computer repaired at Best Buy, but pornanoia kept from handing it over lest they stumble across his collection of lesbian videos.

Pronoia is a mental condition we should all have.

Pronoia is neologism that is defined as the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having a sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to help the person.
It is also used to describe a philosophy that the world is set up to secretly benefit people.

-AH Simkins
My pronoia kicked in when I realized that it only takes a few months to learn a new language, and not several years.

Now I feel more courageous to learn yet another language.

professor pronunciation 

The unusual pronunciation of common words by university professors.
My history professor says "Po-land" instead of "Poland." Is it really the land of the Po?

I thought "God" rhymed with "odd" but my professor says "Gah-haw-d" as if it had three syllables.

Dude, that's professor pronunciation; get used to it.
