Winter wonderland psychosis

The phenomenon in which a person begins to see the cold, the snow and the gray sky as beautiful. Often they will describe the cold as "invigorating", the snow as "crystal blue" and the frigid season as "cozy". The use of these descriptors for the early months of the year is, in fact, diagnostic for this malady. The only effective treatment is a move to a warmer clime.
Lesley (euphorically giggling) "I love the crunch of the crystal blue snow under my feet when I walk to my car. The season is so invigorating! Tonight I want to stay in and make cocoa for the whole neighborhood!"

"That's it. You have to see a professional. You have winter wonderland psychosis."

Validation by proxy

To feel better about oneself by viewing oneself not as an individual but as part of a larger group. In this state, one need not accomplish anything oneself but can take great pride in the accomplishments of others as though they are personal accomplishments because the group is viewed a personal extension.
'Yea we won!"

"No the Steelers won. You just watched the game on TV."

"Same thing."

"No It's not, it's your validation by proxy."

Reltermrat

A trendy new concision for the pathological condition known as "Relationship Termination Rationalization". This device is used by the monogamously adverse to psychologically justify breaking up with someone without having any genuinely compelling reason for doing so.
"Why'd you break up with Jill?"

"She was way too Jedi for me."

"What the Hell does THAT even Mean? I think you're just a reltermrat"

"Shut up."

"Can I ask her out then?"

"Absolutely not!"

Garbage Video Toilet

The unrecognized commode that is effectively the fifth member of the 90's rock band "Garbage". The receptacle makes uncredited and inexplicable appearances in a disproportionate number of the band's videos.
"I can't believe it. This is the fifth Garbage video I've seen today and there's that pesky toilet again. WHY?"

"That's the Garbage Video Toilet. I hear the band just likes the little guy."

"They might as well give it a guitar."

"I heard Rigel was arrested again."

"Yep, this time for reckless transitsexuality."

"Oh no what was it this time, another bus?"

"Nope it was light rail. the 4:15 from Long Island to Manhattan."

"Wow first it was the taxi, then the bus, now this!"

"Yeah I know he's all over the place."

Chompophobia

The irrational fear men often feel toward outhouses. Normally it stems from the associated fear that there may be an unseen alligator or crocodile somewhere below.
"Why did Elmer have to buy one of them newfangled INDOOR toilets?"

"cause me and Clem I heard he has Chompophobia."

"I reckon that's a mighty wise choice then. I heard something peculiar rustlin' in my own outdoor facility this morning."

The reluctance to report a serious work issue for fear that those reading or hearing the complaint will view the issue as petty. The complainant fears that he or she will be viewed forevermore as a sniveling weasel. The result is that the issue will remain unresolved until it takes on another unrelated dimension that is extremely damaging to the workplace. At this point, another worker will report the original complaint and will be given full credit for saving the company.
Worker 1: "I think that we have to let people in HR know what Stacey and Ed have been up to. She's getting away with murder. She's using him, he's letting her and both of them are married anyway."

Worker 2: "There's no way I'm going to bring up favoritism and their adolescent extramarital dalliances to HR."

Worker 1: "Self inflicted complaint blockage?"

Worker 2: "You got it."
