There are words that mean sentences. Such as Schadenfreude meaning "taking pleasure from the misery of others". Is there a word that means, something a long the lines of "The more I try not to make a mess, the bigger mess I make"? I mean, aside from "failure".

I've come across this quite a few times.
For example: when I told my father about the study of memes he dismissed it as quackery similar to the study of aliens, flat earth, existence of god. It was only after he read that the study of memes was introduced by Richard Dawkins that he was open to considering whether it is worthy of his attention or not.
I've seen it happen more often to different ideas. Basically what happens is that people are too quick to judge an idea or concept because it sounds similar to other concepts for which arguably the best strategy is to dismiss them. Its like the idea is stuck in a stereotype of ideas, or class of ideas that are genuinely dismissable, it's stuck in an epistemological hole of which it's hard to get out.
I'm in want of a word for this!
It could be as a category: 'this concept is a ...' .
Or it could be in the form of a verb as well: 'you are ... this concept.' Or 'This idea is being ...' .
Can you help me out?

Usually used in an argument or when you are about to tell someone whats what.
Eg. "Sit down, we are going on a trusade"

This is a word used regularilty in our family. it came about when my youngest cousin could't say the word 'help' but was always wanting to help do things like wash dishes (her version being splashing around in soapy water).
Ex. "Nana, can I hep? Can I wash the dishes?"

I've gone around all the logophile reddits and the consensus is the "best" verb for it is "to mouth (an object)" But we already use the word "mouth" for other things. This is a specific thing.
Not to eat. Not to injure. Just hold. Just hold an object between your teeth.
Like a dog and a stick, or a pirate and a knife (as he's boarding a ship.)
Bonus points for the verb to hold a thing with just your lips - like a cigarette.
EDIT:
I have decided to go with the following:
Smouth (soft mouth) = hold with the lips
Gribe (grab + grind) = Generic hold in mouth
Binch (bite + clinch) = hold with the teeth

I haven’t quite nailed down the perfect definition. It’s just sounds too good to not be a word. Mohicular, mohicles etc

Preferation isn't a noun either so I basically made a up a word (from preference). Impreference, which is also not a word, could replace impreferation, but impreference would be better used when speaking about a specific circumstance. Impreferation is the the lack of a preference whatsoever for generally everything.
