Terrability 

Derived from the latin term "terrere" meaning 'to fill with fear' its meaning refers to the "potential" or "ability" to blunder or make mistakes frequently or to be terrible often with long-lasting results. Commonly utilised as an adjective or descriptive noun in a title, it is a linguistic cousin to ‘terrible’. E.g: Ivan the Terrability

Its origin can be indelibly traced back to the 12th century in Europe, although the exact instance and location is not certain, it is widely regarded to be first expressed in Petwēd (now Gjirokastër) Albania. Notable contemporary uses of the term on record are featured in Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares S05, E10 and Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Uknown S11 E06.
The terrability of the Greek empire subsequent to the death of Alexander the Great (June 323 BC) resulted in the demise of world domination by Greece.

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.
