This refers to the phenomenon of the supremely
annoying and sadistic older
brother, after Wyatt's brother in the
popular television program "Weird Science."
My brother was so totally a case of the Chet syndrome: he used to pull the heads off of my Barbies, take my panties to
school to show his
useless and creepy friends, "borrowed" my CDs forever, and hogged up the bathroom by showering until all the hot
water is gone and I would have to shower cold. Brrrr!
