What is the actual name for a chord of all 12 notes played at once,
all 8 octaves?

..and Robatoy does indeed..
A friend of mine says that an accomplished punster can clear a room;
the more it hurst, the better.
It is a form of linguistic sadism. Spoonerisms are optional.

I bought a flat
Diminished responsibility
You're de ninth person to see
To be suspended in a seventh
Major catastrophe
It's a minor point but gee
Augmented
by the sharpness
of your.....
See what I'm going through
A to be with you
In a flat by the sea

I'm Not In Love
I'm Mandy, Fly Me
Good Morning Judge
Dreadlock Holiday
Things We Do For Love.
...and dozens and dozens of fabulous hits.

Yup, those are amongst my favourites. A couple which actually
originated from the Reverend Spooner, must have broken up the
congregation. He once spoke of "Kinkering kongs".
He once asked an elderly lady: "Pardon me, ma'm, is this pie
occupewed?"
Right up there with: "When the foo shits, wear it."

A 30" x 144" sheet of Corian weighs about 160 pounds.
I throw those around all day.

On Monday, I'm picking up a 48 x 72 island. Quartz. 480 pounds. 2
guys.
Take it off the truck, walk it up 8 steps and tossing it onto the
island cabinets.
It is all about technique and the right gear.
A belt keeping your bowels from extruding into your nutsack is a nice
option.
These really help:

Don't you mean cacophonic dischord?

A couple years ago I sold my 180 pound shaper. I apologized to the buyer
that I couldn't help him load it, as my back just wasn't up to it. He said
he moves them around all the time. He picked it up, carried it 25 feet and
carefully laid it in his truck. He was about 5'9"; maybe 160 pounds.
Amazing.

If you mean the music of Schoenber, Berg, Alban Berg, Webern, etc.
It's Twelve-tone technique, or duodacophony. The chord is a tone row.
Once the basic tone row is established, it is often permutated by
inversion and retrograde. The tone row can be started on any of the 12
notes, so there are 48 different ways to play the tone row.
I'm not sure if all 8 octaves are used.

Ouch! ... new meaning for a diminished chord. And another example of how it
pays to use professional piano movers.
After the flood of '01, a man, with no help but his 16 year old daughter,
took SWMBO's piano, an upright, out the front door, down one step to the
sidewalk, out to the street, and then into the back of their covered pickup
in less than three minutes, never broke a sweat, and never actually lifted
more than about 1/5th of the piano's weight ... all without benefit of a
tailgate lift.
One of the most amazing feats of engineering choreography I've ever seen ...
I still couldn't explain how they did it.
