little brother syndrome 

Following around friends like a clingy younger brother. One with said syndrome cannot make decisions for or take actions by himself. Usually acts like a fake-ass punk and/or lil bitch.
I walked into the other room and he followed me. So I went back into the livingroom and, sure enough, he came in a minute later. Fool wouldn't even go to that girl's house by himself. He's got a bad case of little brother syndrome.

Little brother syndrome 

A person that is really good at being a goof ball and breaking the tension of situations through comedy and playful antics. But at the same time, has a hard time ever taking things seriously or taking responsibility for things, expecting or assuming others will simply come to help out when needed. This is often how little brothers can behave, hence the term.
Sean is always getting parking tickets, and it's 'never his fault.' I used to feel bad, but now I just laugh at him. His older brother doesnt get it, and his mom just always bails him out. I don't get the guy, but he's a blast to be around. He has total little brother syndrome.

Little Brother Syndrome 

The inverse of paranoia about the governing power or establishment collecting information about an individual. (See Big Brother) Those afflicted by little brother syndrome intentionally share and broadcast information about themselves via social networks, check-in websites, and GPS devices, often with little regard to personal privacy, or long-term consequences. Possibly a form of exhibitionism, this definition of Little Brother Syndrome may be related to, or even a consequence of another definition of Little Brother Syndrome wherein a person vies for attention to make up for feeling under-appreciated.
Grover apparently doesn't care who knows all about him, as he posted his home address, salary, and cell phone number to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and Wikipedia today. He's definitely suffering from Little Brother Syndrome

Named this way because little brothers have a knack for being annoying puntable things
Greg totally has Little Brother Syndrome, when he heard Alysa read 25 pages he read 30 just to be better than her. Little does he know "Learn ABC's with Caillou" is not on par with "War and Peace."

Josh Brother Syndrome 

A congenital condition that the tentative editorial DSM-VI defines as a high level of confidence in ones own abilitiy and game knowledge to the point that it is detrimental to those surrounding them, coupled with a immediate breakdown when faced with adversity/a single failure. Once faced with failure psychologists agree the primary coping mechanisms used are "unhealthy self-soothing"(imbibing alcohol) and "compulsions and risk taking"(rushing long A with Galil on save round).

The root cause of this syndrome stems from a down-regulation of dopamine and serotonin receptors(calcium channel deactivation) when the stimulus of "being the best" becomes absent. Down-regulation has also been found to occur when engaging in an activity where new stimulus is not being presented as frequently as every 7 seconds. Alcohol has been shown to improve dopamine reuptake but lower game sense, resulting in a net zero effect on executive function ability.
