The following are from Competition 537 in New York Magazine. I'm tempted to
type in all of them, but I'm limiting myself to 10.

	They beg for it.
Quixautism - (Psych) Tilting at the windmills of the mind.
Staphylocaucus - virus spread at a political meeting where the speaker opens 
	with the phrase, "Good evening ladies and germs ... "
Dimsumambulism - the irrestible urge to sleep wok.
Dysenterre-haute - Indiana's revenge.
Distempura - Japanese food poisoning.
Mehtabolic imbalance - conduction disorder.
Kochechism - compulsive desire to question strangers as to the diagnosis of
	one's own condition.
Shopping Mal - addiction to areas with enclosed groups of stores.
Xivitis - compulsive desire to decipher the roman numerals at the ends of
	movies.
Roomatism - stiffening of the rent control laws.
