Ferryman's Syndrome

(adj.)
A phrase used to describe somebody suffering from a forced style of life in which the dread, stress, and ire are all consequently summed up as a necessary purpose because they are unable to move or find different opportunities. They choose instead to, "row the boat" but never really get anywhere.

The term comes from a "Ferryman," the legend of mythical figures stuck in the Underworld for all eternity with one basic function/freedom: rowing a small boat over hundreds of miles in the river Styx to the other side.

Best when used against:
Rideshare Drivers, Bus Drivers, Taxi Drivers, Court Judges and Bailiffs, People Without a Degree, People with a Liberal Arts Degree, Mythology Majors in Community Colleges, Truck Drivers, People with Predatory Loans, and/or Tour Boat Guides.

Do not use against:
Water-type Pokemon, Trump Supporters, Older professors, retired Navy, retired big city limo drivers, the corpse of Ted Gunderson, Anybody that watches E! seriously, Robert De Niro, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and/or Hulk Hogan.
Charon: Big problem doc, I can't stop bringing people to their death gate.

2. magic that manipulates iron or steel (sometimes any metal)
3. using iron or similar metal in order to divine truths, secrets, or the future
1. Dude, put away the ferromancy - this is a place to commune with nature.
2. If only magic was real and I was some kind of ferromancer, because then I could do something about this rusty sculpture embedded in my flowerbed.
3. Look, unless you've known ferromancy all this time and weren't telling us, I don't think staring with your face an inch away from that castiron skillet is going to tell you anything about it.
