Heldering Syndrome 

The Heldering Syndrome is a term used to describe psychological phenomenon wherein a good idea for a new word on urbandictionary.com is taken hostage by others and the once positive feelings from acceptance into urbandictionary.com are turned into dismay, shame, shock and the need to apologize for ever thinking that defining the word was funny.

The following are viewed as the conditions for Heldering syndrome to occur.

* When seeing defined word on twitter makes you cringe

* When seeing or hearing reference to the defined word, or a word that is similar to the defined word immediately feeling as if you must issue a mass apology.
S: Did you see all of the heldering going on? What the heldering?

Salvadoran Hollering Pigs Syndrome 

The syndrome is in swine and causes great pain to the animal in which a parasite in the pig’s stomach eats it’s stomach lining. This causes the infected to let out a ‘holler’ that is loud and can last for a few minutes or hours. The parasite eats the stomach until stomach acid spills out onto the rest of the organs, tearing through them and killing the swine.
My pig has Salvadoran hollering pigs syndrome. I’m going to have to put her down before it causes her even more pain.
