Chintacle
chin·ta·cle, n.
Including, but not limited to unsightly facial hair growth in post-menopausal women. Named as such due to the hypnotically disturbing and tentacle/serpentine manner the whiskers protrude from the face.
May also be applied to young men who, while attempting to grow out their facial hair, allow isolated and unsightly whiskers to develop into disturbing albeit not as surprising tentacle/serpentine growths. Failure to attend to the rogue whiskers may result in becoming a permavirgin

1. Dude, your grandmother may be the nicest lady on this planet, but I get freaked out by those chintacles that she has going on out there. Can't she just pluck them out?
2. That crazy cat lady better watch out: Perseus may be after her - what with those chintacles, and all.
3. Dude, I respect the side burns and don't mind the 'stache you're growing there, but damn - kill the chintacles, please! They're making you a permavirgin, and threatening to strangle small animals.

My brother has never been the same since he went online; he's being a total douchebag on forums, and can surf Wikipedia for days on end, but have no recollection of where he's been. I should call a doctor; he's suffering from some form of Internet disorder.

Internet Fuckwad Syndrome
In·ter·net Fuck·wad Syn·drome,
n.
An Internet disorder where the patient, while acting under the anonymity of an Internet identity, proceeds to act in a manor both disparaging and embarrassing if said individual were to conduct himself in such a way in RL.
The pathology of this disorder stems from the intoxicating effect of freedom from repercussion when violating societal values and morals anonymity can provide. With no perceived penalty for prepubescent, immature behaviour, weaker individuals lose all inhibition, and proceed to mindlessly annoy, harass, abuse, and assault their peers whilst online.
The pathology is succinctly described through John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory (Penny Arcade; "Green Blackboards (And Other Anomalies)"; 2004/03/19)
Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
·Trolling;
·Posting irreverent, shallow criticisms or comments on YouTube;
·Arguing with an admin on any site;
·Liberally using racial slurs;
·Backing up the use of racial slurs with equally racist rationalizations;
·Creating and distributing Spam; and
·Being a minor on the Internet.
Treatment requires an immediate intervention and disconnection from any Internet feed, as this is the sole vector of Internet pathogens, including text forms, and send buttons.
Abbreviated by the initialism (IFS), and also known as Anonymous Asshat Syndrome (AAS)

Dude, I was watching a pretty awesome video online, and some asshat has to comment, "this is the greatest piece of shite since your mother brought you into this world". What an asshole; if he/she flew their mouth off like that in the real world, they would be eating people's fists regularly. I pity these losers; they suffer from Internet Fuckwad Syndrome.

Hyperlink ADD
hy·per·link a·d·d, n.
An internet disorder caused from the sheer volume of hyperlinks present in an article. Similar in symptoms to Attention Deficit Disorder, ADD, when an individual suddenly travels to another hyperlinked article of immediate interest, and another article hyperlinked within the recently loaded article, never having completely finished the previous articles, and sometimes never returning to finish reading said articles.
Hyperlink ADD is most common for patients who frequently read Wikipedia, or forums where external hyperlinks are frequently present.
Symptoms include: fatigue; empathy; failure to finish sentences; addiction to clicking or tapping underlined words or phrases; not finishing this article on Hyperlink ADD
Similar to Google Amnesia where the sheer ease of discovering new information severely decreases the significance of the information gained

1. My god! I've spent an entire afternoon reading articles related to this current page on Domokuns, yet I forget what I was originally reading. I may have Hyperlink ADD
2. I spent the last 10 min clicking the 'Back' button on John's web browser. Either he's a world champion speed reader, or he has Hyperlink ADD.
