Inspirfection

A portmanteau of inspiration and infection, is definitely an inspiring idea which flows like an infection, and inspires diverse ideas.

A thought-provoking, mind-boggling, jaw-drooping ideas which are worth the spread.

Obviously, the word comes only as a gerund, and not very flexible with different tenses.

I've attended Up on the Roof event last month. And oh my word, the inspirfection was flowing in the air.

Monochronic

A portmanteau of monocracy and chronic syndrome. It represents any totalitarian, autocrat, or parental behaviour or action which neglects other individuals' freedom of thought, expression, or action.

It could stand also for a certain strict or orthodox way of education and upbringing which depends on brainwashing and inheritance of attitudes and thoughts from ancestors, rather than creativity and rational analysis, especially in oriental societies.

One of the main reasons behind the exclusive Islamist terrorism is the monochronic way of education and upbringing.
