1970s slang for a super idiot where dildo means idiot but the person referred to is more than a run of the mill example. Heard around UMIST in Manchester.

smallprintosis

A rare, usually nasty, obscure medical condition about which little is known. So-called because the entry in large textbooks like Harrison’s is in small print at the bottom of the page. Typically the entry says that MRI scanning may be useful in diagnosis and steroids in treatment.
See also fascinoma.
