(lit. "fear of the camel's nose") Psychological condition characterized by strong negative emotional reactions, not to what is actually happening at the moment, but to something that might possibly happen in the future if the present behaviors, circumstances, etc. are allowed to continue. (From the old story about a camel putting its nose into a tent, and eventually taking over the entire tent.)
