Irritable Vowel Syndrome 

When you or your Scrabble opponent has so many vowels on their rack, they can't make a word on the board, or the only word that can be made is going to score very low. Complaining about having too many vowels and getting irritable reign over swapping a vowel tile and skipping a turn.
player #1: your turn.
player #2: dude, I can't even make a word, I have too many vowels.
player #1: swap some tiles, then.
player #2: no, it's ok. I will just make this two letter word and get a crappy point score.
player #1: sounds like you are suffering from Irritable Vowel Syndrome.

irritable vowel syndrome 

Refers to a semi-serious malady whereby an impatient/cantankerous person habitually "whimpers 'n' growls" using long drawn-out wordless/meaningless noises that, if written out phonetically, would consume a whole lotta letters other than consonants, such as "Aaaaaaaaaarrgghhhuuuuuuuuuhhhhh...!" or, "Eeeeeeeeeennnggguuuuuuuuuhhh...!"
I never take my spoiled-rotten teenage cousin along on family shopping-trips anymore... the lengthy wait-times between stores, our unwillingness to purchase the unnecessary/overly-expensive items he desires, our inability to go around to all the places he wants to visit, and the late hour that we usually get home all conspire to give him a major case of irritable vowel syndrome, and this constant fretting takes all the cheerfulness out of the trip for everyone else.

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
