discomfitometer

noun. A discomfort-and-awkwardness-detecting device, located between the inner ear, pancreas, and soul.

Real citation: "The dinner party scored a perfect eleven on the discomfitometer, especially Jack's droll commentary about oil shortages. Hee!"

Made-up citation: "During the surgical scenes in Nip/Tuck, I hold the remote over my eyes, for fear of fritzing out out my discomfitometer, yuckometer, or whatever you wanna call that feeling of ew, eee, and gah."
