While it is true Phrontistery gives dancing craze for "dinomania", I found many sites calling it dinosaur mania.And many sites appear to use "dynosaur" for dancing craze.

I sent to bed thinking about dinomania vx dynomania, and caradea's loganamnosis set in. Still think it should be loganamnesis. Anyhow, in the middle of the night I was awakened by recollection of wild music, and hundreds of people dancing in the streets in extreme south-east of Italy. TARANTISM1111111
epidemic in the vicinity of TARANTO; pop. assoc. with the tarantula, by whose bite it was erroneously said to be caused6 a nervous disease characterized by hysteria and popularly believed to be curable by dancing or manifested by a mania for dancing: prevalent in S Italy during the 16th and 17th cent.

>"klebenleiben" is a typo for "klebenbleiben"...
interesting... the only Google hits for the misspelling are quotes of Mrs. B's definition. [tear]
(what do you make of this cite: "Klebenbleiben" in chat-rooms)

Alas that my deafness prevents my enjoying listening to recording of Jasha Heifetz playing Paganini's Tarantella.

Leib means body, so Klebenleiben would mean glue-bodies except that the plural of Leib is Leiber. Mebbe the dative singular?

potichomania: craze for imitating Oriental porcelain
Now I know what to call this! It's really been bugging me, because I know soooo many people that suffer from this. They sit there, unmoving, delicate, little blue dragons twisting over their ivory-white surfaces, flowers stuck in the tops of their heads, and I don't know how to describe their condition.
