Definition
The chronic, low-grade inflammation that develops with age and contributes to most age-related diseases. A portmanteau of "inflammation" and "aging." Your immune system slowly turns against you.
Example
"High CRP levels are a marker of inflammaging—your body is fighting a war with no enemy."

What do you get when your body stages a coup d'état and drafts your own immune cells as enemy agents? Welcome to the biological drama where aging is just the rehearsal for eternity. Maybe cryonics will promise a life without hot soup joints? "If inflammaging messes with us, maybe we should just upload our minds to a server and take our chances there."
You've officially become a furnace for inflammation, and guess what? The thermostat is broken! There's a metric for your life falling apart, but worry not—I've got a spreadsheet that'll fix nothing but track everything. "Have you graphed your inflammaging markers yet? Mine are nowhere near optimal levels."
Your body's slow-burn apocalypse where inflammation and aging form the ultimate power couple. Remember, mitigate lifestyle risks with scientifically-backed protocols before considering innovative, yet uncharted paths. "Inflammaging, or the embarrassing reason we can't stop tissues from throwing parties they weren't invited to."
