Sharaphovia

The fear of screaming. Named after Maria Sharapova, whose success in tennis was due mainly to the off-setting effect of primal screams she emitted constantly during her matches. Rationalized to tennis officials as a release of the explosive energy required for hard serves and ground strokes, the main intention was to psyche and dominate her opponents by derailing their concentration using irritating aural noise. Constant exposure to this noise over long matches can be shown to leave an oily plaque on the eardrum and cause dizziness and a rattling sensation in the ears. Potential opponents of such screamers often suffer from Sharaphovia.

When will tennis officials finally ban the infantile tactics used by some players of screaming. How many women in the sport must be handicapped by the dreaded Sharaphovia.

Get the Sharaphovia mug.

Sharadon

Sharadon is a goal driven woman. She does not let anyone stand in her way of her dreams. Her circle is usually small because having too many friends is overwhelming for her. She is also smart and beautiful on the inside and out. But, do not push Sharadon's button! She can go from 0 to 100 at the drop of a dime. When it comes to men, Sharadon is very picky. If a man does not meet her standards, she does not want nothing to do with him. Do not break her heart, or you will be sorry. Sharadon will always be called mean but she is not! She keeps it real and never holds her tongue.

Don't ever play Sharadon. You'll end up getting played yourself.
