Goylexia (n)
The locally widespread disability that prevents non-Jewish people from understanding when Hanukkah begins and ends.
In a sentence: “So many Portlanders suffer from goylexia—my friends at work start nervously telling me ‘happy holidays’ in November and don’t stop until February.”
Related: GOPlivion (liberal Portlanders’ general ignorance of conservative politics, culture); afroassociational disorder (the assumption that all black people know one another)
