Pentropy

PERSONAL NEOLOGISM: pentropy (pen-tro-pee) n. The tendency for the ballpoint pens at rest on your desk to suddenly and surreptitiously take flight, until none remain. (Once thought to be the result of filching co-workers, now believed attributable to the inexorable contraction of the universe.)
