Paranapodaidiokinesis (noun):
- the mental paralysis one feels when confronted with the contradiction of a belief that is so obviously true that one has never bothered to remember the chain of reasoning behind it
- the intense frustration experienced when it becomes necessary to explain the blindingly obvious
Etymology
From "para" (incorrectly, beyond, wrongly, harmfully) + "anapoda" (Greek: upside-down) + "idio" (Greek "idiotes": literally, one who declines to understand public affairs) + "kinesis" (Greek-I-think: movement or energy) → the experience of having things incorrectly turned upside-down by a willfully ignorant person.
