Pom Poko Syndrome

Pom Poko Syndrome (noun) - The condition in which humans begin acting like crazed tanuki (the Japanese raccoon-dog) due to extreme weather such as a heat wave.

Context: According to Japanese legend, the tanuki is a curious and humorous changeling creature, known for its oversized scrotum and troublemaking. The gigantic scrotum, called kinbukuro (bags of gold) or kintama (golden balls), can stretch to reach the size of 8 tatami mats.
