Abulia (noun)

“Where should we go to eat? I don’t know. Where would you like? Beats me.” If this discourse sounds familiar, then you and your friends have suffered from abulia: the abnormal lack of ability to make decisions. In the future you can compliment your boss on his or her exceptional abulia. (Source: Merriam-Webster’s 365 New Words Calendar)
