Deaconitis

  1. A derogatory term used on adolescent boys to indicate that they made a mistake in their Sunday dress.

This term is primarily used when part of the boy's collar is accidentally flipped up or if the back part of the tie is longer than the front. For example, someone might say, "hold on, you have deaconitis," while helping their friend adjust their collar.
