Viadnevee-ad-nee
n. Alienation from the crude machinery of your own body--like riding a ramshackle parade float that's run by gremlins you can't see, who toil away in darkness, pulling strings to move your limbs, kneading your guts and working the bellows, trying to further your modern agenda using nothing more advanced than a sackful of bones and splanchnic ganglia, zapped by sparks in primordial ooze.
Etymology
Latin via, by way of + viande, meat.
