ED Resident 2: Dude, I heard she was diagnosed with Residency-Induced Tourette (RIT) syndrome.
ED Resident 1: It all makes sense! Well if the replant doesn't work, I'll still have the same success rate as Ryan Rebowe.

A powerful detachment from reality caused by obsessively reading politically charged conspiracy theories, and generally believing anything said by certain pundits who often pass off obvious falsehoods as truth. The primary characteristic is being susceptible to fervently believing extremely outlandish claims which are easily disproven by a simple Google search.

Their non-sexual abuse-inducing bromanceship was so unhinged that they'd die for each other without hesitation; yet, ask them to hold the door open for their girlfriends, and they’d look at you like you just asked them to sacrifice their first-borns.
