FGS (Forrest Gump Syndrome) originates from the southern United States. It has since spread to the northern parts of the US. It can be as
small as simply saying "y'all" or a full
blown southern accent (or "Texas drawl").
Texas drawl - A stereotypical word used to describe the supposed speech patterns of the citizens of Texas.
FGS can be treated by exposure to areas in the northern United States (
New York, Massachusetts, etc) though the length of confinement to treat FGS varies, depending on how serious the
case and the attitude of the diseased.
There are several ways a person can catch FGS. The most common way to catch FGS is direct exposure. A person who lives/visits a southern state for a period of
time (depends on how they adapt to change)
may catch FGS. This
may also happen if the person lives with someone who is already diagnosed with FGS.
Though this disease has just
now started being recognized, it has infected millions over the centuries. Relationships between Americans has helped spread FGS because of conversations between a person diagnosed with FGS and a FGS-free person.
FGS is...
Highly Contagious
Highly Flammable (because it's
hawt)
