Carpal Thumbel Syndrome

A syndrome where the thumbs can't be used to text on a smartphone due to over texting.

Unlike carpal tunnel, where the problems occur due to a median nerve in the wrist, Carpal Thumbel is due to a nerve pinching in the hand.
"Kara, why can't you type a text?"

"I can't move my thumbs! I have tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in my thumbs! Could it be Carpal Tunnel!?"

"No. What you suffer from is Carpal Thumbel Syndrome."

Carpal Tourette Syndrome

A neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by physical tics. These tics travel from the brain down through the carpal cannal causing the subject to experience uncontrolled urges to type mostly incoherent babble and useless drivel. When one finds themselves on social media sites carrying on senselessly, typing a lot but saying mostly nothing, this is known as carpal tourette syndrome (CTS).

It's basically a get out of jail free card for those times when you've typed something that you regret and can't delete it.
I blame my carpal tourette syndrome for last night's facebook rant.

I didn't mean to be so mean when I texted you, it's my carpal tourettes flaring up again.

No I'm not a racist, I have carpal tourette syndrome!
