Da wound-up feeling of nervous anticipation dat you experience when you're positioned near to a bell-type alarm of some kind dat could startlingly go off at any moment.

auld langxiety 

The kind of anxiety that arises as one bids farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.

"Johnny's auld langxiety kicks in at about 11:55p on New Year's Eve as feelings of intense worry overcome him at the prospect of another year of this shit."
