hypoagency

An attempt (often a woman) to make oneself look weak in order to manipulate someone else (usually a man) into doing something for their agency.
This usually involves investment by the helping counterpart, for if they are stupid, will lead into even more investment from their side in hopes of a return.
Lady: "The turn-in date is tomorrow. And I haven't even started the essay! Help me please. I don't know how to do it."
(actually helpless selfish spoiled person using hypoagency to shift her responsibility to someone else)

Male: "Let me do it for you."
(hopes she'll like him more after he slaves for her - ignorant to do the fact that he'll be discarded later when he'll make a single demand of her)

hypodemic 

n. A disease whose fully reproductive rate (R) is less than 1; a disease with an average probability of infecting less than one susceptible new host; a disease that is on the decline.
(not to be confused with hypodermic)
When R is greater than 1, the infection is growing exponentially, and it's at that point that it's known as an epidemic. When it holds steady around 1, that's when a disease is called endemic. And less than one means that it's on the decline. Hypodemic?
