Gunneritis (n.)
A chronic and incurable psychological condition affecting football fans, characterized by unwavering support for Arsenal Football Club despite repeated heartbreak, underachievement, and self-inflicted setbacks.
Symptoms:
False hope syndrome – Convincing oneself that "this is our year" every August, only to be mathematically humbled by March.
Top 4 Fever – Viewing fourth place as a trophy and celebrating it accordingly.
Trophy Hallucinations – Repeatedly reminiscing about the Invincibles era as if it happened yesterday, despite it being over two decades ago.
Red Card Rage Disorder – A tendency for one’s team to collect unnecessary red cards at crucial moments, often ruining promising matches.
Europa League Fatigue – The annual cycle of dropping from the Champions League group stage or bottling Europa League knockout rounds.
Managerial Denial Syndrome – Believing every new manager is "the one," before inevitably calling for their sacking within three seasons.
Spurs Obsession – Measuring success against Tottenham, even when finishing trophyless.
Prognosis:
No known cure.
Condition worsens in February/March when the annual title collapse occurs.
Symptoms temporarily subside after occasional FA Cup wins but quickly return.
Treatment:
Lower expectations.
Embrace banter.
Consider switching to a stress-free sport like chess.
Accept that Arsenal will Arsenal, no matter what.

Get the GUNNERITISmug. A male inmate in a correctional facility, that masturbates while staring at a female guard. The inmate fantasizes that he is having intercourse with the guard, while choking the chicken. This is called "gunning". Inmates in youthful offender facilities are called "young gunners". They are said to be quick on the draw and not afraid to gun down a C. O.
Man I walked by the shitter, and it was full of young gunners gunning down the cafeteria lady. All I heard was booyaka booyaka!!

Get the Gunnermug. A person with the name Gunner is usually mean! If u were you I would stay away from anyone by the name of Gunner. Most Gunners are really hot/cute on the outside but on the inside they are a piece of SHIT!

Get the I, Angel Hellstrom Jose Robles, Also Known As, Hellstrom, Hellstromism, Hellstromismu, Holi, Holism, Holismu, And Messenger Add Oak Sucks Richard, Timothy, And Gunther Genitals <Dick, Gunner, And Tim>mug. A term used by military personnel to sidestep questions about their actual job, especially when they don't want to get specific or even talk to the person asking the question. The name comes from the fact that the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter doesn't actually have a side door for a gunner.
Obnoxious VetBro: "Bro you're in the military? Dude I was too! What's your job?"
Servicemember minding their own business: "Uhh, I was an Apache Door Gunner..."
Obnoxious VetBro: "Oh sick bro! I didn't know they had those!"
