Trumpholm syndrome

Trumpholm syndrome is a psychological phenomenon first described in 2016 in which intelligent, rational, empathetic and compassionate Americans who did not vote for Donald Trump during the U.S presidential election of 2016 express empathy and sympathy—and have positive feelings toward—President Donald Trump, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with him and his agenda.

Trumpholm syndrome is self-defense mechanism: bonding with Trump is the individual's response to trauma suffered by his rise to power.

Symptoms of Trumpholm syndrome often develop after a sustained period of trumpression.

The word "Trumpholm" is a portmanteau of "Trump" and "Stockholm" (referring to Stockholm syndrome).

"Ever since Cecilia's post-election trumpression transformed into Trumpholm syndrome, she's been able to get out of bed and go to work again; Jim said he even saw her smile while watching President Trump on the news."

Lavender Unicorn Syndrome

Lavender Unicorn Syndrome occurs when, instead of using a characters name or a pronoun, you repeatedly use other descriptors for them, such as "the baker," "the ninja," "the dragon."

Common in Fan Fictions, the term spawned from the Friendship is Magic /fic/ board where writers would refer to Twilight Sparkle as "lavender unicorn" rather than using her name to describe when she was doing something.

"As Twilight Sparkle walked into the room, the lavender unicorn lifted the book from her shelf with a wave of her horn."
That's Lavender Unicorn syndrome right there. We have pronouns for a reason, people.

fairy tail syndrome

When you watch fairy tail and notice that everyone in the guild is so nice and friendly to each other, leaving you depressed and questioning whether or not you have any real friends.

I'm getting a serious case of fairy tail syndrome because of the powerful themes of friendship in that show.

Mushroom Syndrome

(n) - A syndrome where you're fed bullshit and kept in the dark. Derives from the method of cultivating mushrooms: they add a lot of fertiliser and keep them in the dark and damp.

A person can suffer from Mushroom Syndrome in any way; the only circumstances are:

(1) A person doesn't tell you everything about a certain situation concerning you/and or them

and;

(2) They tell lies.

Sarah: So how's your relationship with Andy going?

Bree: OMG! He gave me Mushroom Syndrome! It turns out he was actually gay, which he never told me about.

Sarah: Wow! So what did he bullshit to you about? You know, the other half of the Mushroom Syndrome?

Bree: Oh, he told me he didn't break the blender but it *actually* was him!
