A stubborn view that things you use/are used to are better than anyone else's, just because you use/are used to them. Regardless that the other options may be objectively equal or better, a shymonistic person always fights for their thing, usually without providing any valid arguments.
European: How can you possibly drive on the left side of the road? That's so stupid, driving on the right side of the road makes much more sense.
Brit: How does it make more sense? There's no better driving side, just two options...
European: Well, then our option is better. Driving on the left side is weird. Everyone should drive on the right side, that's normal.
Brit: Quit the shymonism and say some real arguments.

Salmoning 

When someone has the sudden urge to shit and they have to run to the bathroom almost as If it were a battle upstream. They start sweating. And often drive recklessly to get home or to the store. They try to move quickly but If they move to quickly their shit will come out.
