Observational overkill; “doorbell panic;” 19th c. botanical illustration; German nomenclature; medievalism; orchid show protocol; excessive pintucking; mood lability; inexplicable gaze strategy; fissiparousness; habitual twiddling and nailbiting; hypersensitivity to cometary dust, glare, and minute seismic activity; tweezer zealotry; exasperating tangential commentary; console fatigue; aggrieved gatekeeping; abnormal interest in dubious fields of inquiry (telepathic encounters, “Felid-Lemur Alliances,” neuro-microcosmology, “Pyrenean Agarics,” Wyoming bunkhouses, “Austro-Bavarian Balloon Expeditions,” Pseudoreminiscenzen, etc.).
