Sentence: Marlene's desk simply could not handle the weight -- it wasn't built to handle that type of load. Due to her technophrenia, and her compulsion to actually handle these apparently invisible files everyone kept telling her were stored inside her computer, she would print out every single e-mail and add it to the growing stacks, forming a 'literal fort' inside her cubicle.

Etymology: ditto (a duplicate or copy) + delusion (a false belief in spite of invalidating evidence).
