Hookychondria: /hook kee kon dree ah/ Mala Dee had called her boss describing her dreadful symptoms and the fact that her doctor had told her to take 2 weeks off to avoid spreading infection to her co-workers. Her boss was sympathetic, but any doubts he had about her lengthy illness were brought home as he watched the closing ceremonies of the Olympics from Vancouver and saw a shot of Mala dancing around with the Team Canada athletes. It was then he realized that she had only been suffering from the hookychondria, Gold Fever, like the rest of the country. GO, CANADA, GO! Etymology: Hooky (truancy; failure to attend) & Hypochondria (chronic and abnormal anxiety about imaginary symptoms and ailments)

That was the end of the conversation and neither one of them ever mentioned it again.
