Amenorrhea and hyponatremia. I do also like orchidectomy, but I am less comfortable repeating it over and over than the others - it feels like it’ll be taken as a threat

Agalmatophilia

It’s the paraphilia of being sexually attracted to statues. Like stone marble statues.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Supposedly a lung infection caused by inhaling very fine volcano dust. Technically invented by a group of word puzzle fans, but it’s appeared in dictionaries.

This might also be the first time since I learned it (30+ years ago) that it’s been even close to relevant in a conversation.
