I love that word, it also stuck with me for similar reasons. I like your connection to the human story with it. Humanity is so cool when you step back and look at it. Big fan.
My favorite term from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is 'anecdoche', maybe you'll like that one too.
> anecdoche
> n. a conversation in which everyone is talking but nobody is listening, simply overlaying disconnected words like a game of Scrabble, with each player borrowing bits of other anecdotes as a way to increase their own score, until we all run out of things to say.
