one of the top lookups at onelookŪ today is dysphagia, defined by AHD as dfficulty in swallowing.
it strikes me that this Path. term could be easily transferred to general use; to wit,
I suffer from dysphagia when I hear his reasons for being late.
or
He presented our case to the best of his ability; but the jury was dysphagic.
(not that we particularly need it.)

In reply to:

And I suffer from it when I heard the various reasons for papers being late. Does this make me a dysphagiac or a dysphagiatist?

And it appears that an aglutitionist is also a dysphagiac.
