fauxtophobia 

Cynicism brought on by the proliferation of digitally altered photographs. This causes the victim to doubt the authenticity of any impressive picture he / she sees.
The nature pictures Kirk's aunt Deann e-mailed to him were cool, but his fauxtophobia wouldn't subside enough for him to truly appreciate the beauty of the toad with a lion's body.

"When you accuse me of watching 'Extra' because I 'crush on Mario Lopez,' or suggest buying me glitter for my birthday, I know you're being funny and cool...but it's still fauxmophobia."

"Sorry, bro. That last tweet was meant to be fauxmophobic, but it may have crossed the line. Clearly I don't think you're literally getting gang-raped by bears and otters."

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
