quarantinnitis 

A musical ear and mind disease - when listening to live streaming song covers from your favorite musicians over and over during a quarantine/pandemic, the way they perform/cover the song replaces the sound of the original song in your mind and/or is stuck in your head.
I have requested that dueling pianist to cover Tina Turner's Private Dancer so many times that I have forgotten how Tina sounds like, I just can't get it out of my head, I think I have a case of quarantinnitis!

Quarantinicide

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
