Lexicognosis Syndrome

From Rest of What I Know

Lexicognosis Syndrome is a condition whose sufferers accord higher importance than required to concepts or phenomena that have a name. As an example, a person suffering from this may not react if a coconut fell from a tree. However, if a coconut falling from a tree were named Cocoballistic Syndrome, the person would experience some measure of hysteria - primarily expressed by their attempting to warn other people about this phenomenon.
