assumosis

This is the disorder of assuming, since "osis" is the prefix in medicine that means "disorder". One might say that assumosis is diffusion of an idea across neural membranes, yours and mine.

Assumosis is one of his greater flaws. He thinks he knows what I think and feel, but his assumptions are far from my truth.

poa constrictor

This is a person who either consciously or unconsciously constricts the spiritual development of others due to treating others and oneself as a mere pile of atoms (see poa). This is a double pun as both a play on the phrase "boa constrictor" and the more subtle pun that such a snake inhibits breathing of the victim. Breath is known in Greek as "pneuma" and is synonymous with "spirit".

She showed herself to be a poa constrictor when she never offered any positive assessment to the fledgling spiritual questions asked by her children.
