+36 There ought to be a word for this: You are getting very mellow and you notice a sensation in your pinky-toe so you type in “symptom pinky-toe twinge” and start reading, before you know it, you are driving yourself to the urgent care center because you are convinced you have //Herr Flugelhorn’s disease// and require an immediate splenectomy to prevent further complication. That word should be WebMdosis. Amirite?

I love English. We have a word for almost everything. And if we don't have one, we steal some from another language.
