BECAUSE WE NEED MORE NAMES FOR THINGS

I'm getting over a slight cold, and for no reason that I can pin down, it's occurred to me that life would be a little more interesting if we had more Lovecraftian names for afflictions like these.

"I'm calling in sick today, guys; got a bad case of the Crawling Chaos."

"Where's Joe?"
"Couldn't make it. Got a cold."
"What kind?"
"Lurker From Below."
"Shit, man."

I know I'm the only one who thinks this. That's okay.
