Quite possibly the only Simon and Garfunkel song where Garfunkel sings lead vocals and/or doesn't just harmonize with Paul Simon. Funnily enough, it is widely considered their best song.

Get the Bridge Over Troubled Water mug.CCR Syndrome is very common with singers who have very prominent and usual accents. John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival is notorious for this, hence the name; his strong accent makes some of the lyrics damn near impossible to understand. It's particularly annoying on songs such as "Green River" and "Travelin' Band."

Get the CCR Syndrome mug.A well-known subreddit where all the images have the "spoiler" tag by default. Above each post is a description of two things that you may see if you click the image. (The website chooses which one it will be at random.)One of them is typically quite pleasant, while the other is...not so pleasant.
For example, you may see a 50/50 where one of the possible posts is a bunch of kittens sleeping in a box, while the other option is a man waking up from anesthesia while undergoing open-heart surgery. (This is just an example. But the bad outcome is not an exaggeration; some of them are actually very graphic and utterly terrifying.)
...You get the idea. This subreddit can either make your day, or it can scar you for life.

Reddit 50/50 is a very popular challenge with Youtubers. But please, enter it at your own risk. You may want to puke if you get the bad outcome one too many times.

Get the Reddit 50/50 mug.A relatively rare (and very real) phobia characterized by an irrational fear of physical contact. People with haphephobia tend to recoil in fear when someone touches them, especially without consent. It doesn't seem horrible, but it's just like all phobias: You don't know how serious it is unless you have one.
There are two major differences that can be used to distinguish between haphephobia and someone who is just very jumpy:
1. Jumping out of your skin because a stranger randomly touched you is normal. Nearly having a heart attack because a close friend or family member accidentally brushed against you is NOT normal.
2. Remember that it's IRRATIONAL. Being receptive to touch because you suffer from allodynia or some other form of skin sensitivity is perfectly normal. But if it happens for seemingly no reason and you know it; THAT is not normal.

"Hey guys. This is my little brother, Steven."
"Aww, he's so cute!"
"Wait -- don't touch him, he-"
"AAAAHHH!"
"...He has haphephobia."

Get the Haphephobia mug.A derogatory term for a realist.
I am not a cynic. I simply expect less of people because I know they will always find a way to disappoint me.

Get the Cynic mug.An extremely shitty and evil human being who makes a living off of scams, lies, and fake charities. His insane unpopularity skyrocketed even further after his fake speedrun of Super Mario Bros was famously taken apart in a video simply titled "The worst fake speedrun on Youtube" by Karl Jobst.
His fake speedrun is basically several other legitimate former world record speedruns all spliced together, with a fake heart rate monitor and some of the worst acting you'll ever see in your entire life. And it's ultimately not that impressive compared to some of the *REAL* world records.

Karl Jobst's video of Badabun's infamous fake speedrun caused a lot of people around the world to realize what a horrible person Badabun actually was. It was already well-known in his home country, but now pretty much everyone in the world hates him...and rightfully so. Prior to the removal of dislikes, Badabun's fake speedrun had an overwhelmingly negative like/dislike ratio. It also has less views than the video exposing him.
To quote one of the comments on the Jobst's exposing video: "Honesty always wins in the end."

Get the Badabun mug.One of the most popular Cyanide and Happiness cartoon about a man who discovers that he can run very, very fast, and makes the most of it. Well...he does at first.
"Waiting For The Bus" starts with a man who is...well, take a wild guess what he's doing, why don't you.
When the bus comes, it speeds past him. The man runs to get the bus driver to stop. The bus driver points out that he is in the same predicament as the bus in the movie "Speed." It is at this moment that the man realizes he can run very, very fast. The bus driver gives a brief motivational speech telling him to make the most of his odd skill, which he immediately does.
Things go well at first. The man (Now called the 50MPH Man) immediately becomes a star. He wins races left and right, and unexpectedly finds his true love when he crashed into her after a race. But things take a dark turn when he receives an invitation to race in the Indy 500...and he accepts.
A man who can run at 50MPH can't hold a candle to cars that go more than 200MPH, which is something he learns the hard way. The 50MPH man loses a race for the first time as a result, and his life spirals down. He is arrested for attempted robbery, and his wife divorces him.
Several years pass. The 50MPH man sits alone in the training area where he first honed his skills. He then commits suicide by running full-speed into the stadium wall. The very same bus driver who inspired him to begin his career learns about his passing, and stops to admire the place where The 50MPH Man started and ended his life.
Finally, the bus explodes, killing him.
The End!
