Totally unrelated to any "opposite" condition of the well-known "born later in the mother's life" disorder, this affliction merely refers to an abnormal obsession with "all things United Parcel Service" --- the person may collect lots of caps and t-shirts with the UPS logo, arbitrarily ship out anything and everything --- even ordinary personal letters, which of course would cost a lot more to ship that way than just a regular US-Mail "Forever" stamp --- by "ol' Brown-'n'-Yellow", always ask to have mail-ordered items shipped to him by UPS even if the US Mail or FedEx would be cheaper, etc.
Caring nephew: My elderly Uncle Ted has developed UPS syndrome in a major way. so I always order his E-Bay items for him myself, so that he won't needlessly overspend on shipping if there is a cheaper way to send the items.

Humorous term to refer to da one-to-ten-second "allowance-window" for performing goofy antics dat is implied to be granted to you as a "reward" or "consolation" if a certain type of minorly-distressing event unexpectedly befalls you, such as if you get accidentally bonked on da head with a rake-handle or 2X4, and thus you are "permitted" to make a huge buffoonish show of wobblingly staggering about for a moment or two, as if you've been knocked partially unconscious.
Another type of momentary clowning-around license might be if there is a sudden loud noise nearby dat presumably would allow you to raucously respond in kind --- for example, if a passing car toots its horn for no apparent reason, you then briefly have "implied permission" to shut your eyes tightly and bellow, "HAWNK!!" in "reply" to said unexpected auditory interruption.
