I'll go for inflammation of the litotes
Inflammation of would be litotitis. Reminds me of my youngest nephew.
Long family car trip in January. My brother and nephews were listening
to the football game. The announcer described some hapless player as
having a case of fumbulitis. "No," said my nephew (aged 17); "he
doesn't have inflammation of the fumbles. What he meant was
oleodigitosis."
