Omphaloskepsis

The technical term for yuppie navel gazing , I’ve discovered is omphaloskepsis, which means the contemplation of one’s navel as an aid to meditation. The actual medical definition of that condition in Latin (forgive me, my Latin is rusty) is Omphaloskepis Yuppis, which in grammatical form uses the ablative of self-absorbed fucks.
