Editor's Syndrome 

When spending a multitude of long, grueling hours editing a video, song or any other piece of media, and by the end can only communicate through grunts. Can affect more than one person at once.
Me and my friend were really hyper when we started editing our class project. After 8 hours, we were so tired out we could only communicate by grunts and giving slight thumbs up or down. We officially had Editor's Syndrome.

editor's lament 

When you're editing definitions on Urban Dictionary and have a pretty good rhythm going and you deny a "Misandry" and assume that a "man" is going to pop up next but it doesn't and you accidentally deny a legit word because of an itchy trigger finger.
Oh shit! I just denied a perfectly good word because I was locked and loaded for "Misandry". Oh well,just write it off as editor's lament.
