Rank Sentimentalist…one who has suffered excessive hardships or tragedies in life and lacks the ability to enjoy themselves. Yet they still view the world as innately good and will never be satisfied with the mediocrity that most men accept. They realize their plight is in vain, but cannot help but continue to nudge themselves in that direction, usually intoxicated. Not to be confused with the famous quote in the movie Casablanca, where the the protagonist is accused of being a ‘rank sentimentalist’. Nothing like that.

Get the Rank Sentimentalist mug.A new mental illness in which the afflicted person maintains relationships with people from the past who no longer wish to have anything to do with them. People having this affliction should seek professional help. This is a mild form of stalking and the afflicted person does not have their current emotional needs met and tries to console his or herself by looking into their past. These people also like to collect things from their youth and adolesence. Like an old salesman they go over their old leads (only the quality ones) and try to find something of value in the past, either acceptance, forgiveness, or re-assurance. It is unclear what would come of the person if they were actually to harvest one of these relationships and see themselves as successful in this respect. See also: stalker loser dumbass forrestgump
John is a real mess. Everytime his life gets tough he calls his ex-girlfriends and feels like he is right back with them even when that chick hasn't heard from him in years. I think he has gross sentimentality.

Get the Sentimental Observer mug.A physiological glitch where your adult body has a romantic reaction to a childhood memory. It occurs when you see a vintage photo of a child actor you loved in the 3rd grade, and your brain accidentally reboots your original hormones from 2007. It’s essentially the "ghost of crushes past" haunting your pants.
"I was scrolling through a 'Throwback Thursday' thread and saw a picture of Miranda Cosgrove from the early iCarly days. I got a total sentimental boner. It felt like my adult self was high-fiving my 10-year-old self across the space-time continuum."
