The West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic

This proven ideal is that people living in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia are two or more years behind in society, but live only one half mile from two adjoining states. If a certain line of clothing and/or jewelry is popular now in those two adjoining states, rest assured it will not catch on until 2011 in the WV panhandle. Additionally to that, all teenage boys seem to have red hair and the traditional bowl cut from the mid to late 1990's and wear black tennis shoes to all occassions. Women in this epidemic seem to have a fetish for Looney Tunes T's and/or other cartoons.

"Hey man, isn't this Aeropostale shirt sweet?"

reply: "yeah man, if it was 2001"

"why is he wearing black tennis shoes to the homecoming?"

reply: "because he's a card carrying member of the West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic"

Tag Epidemic

A tag epidemic usually occurs on Facebook. What happens is, a person will tag a lot of other people on a photo and then the people tagged also tag more people. What ends up happening is that more and more people are tagged and leave comments on the photos that turn to full conversations between 30 people, which in turn leaves many, many notifications to check, and clogged email. A recent picture has been a cartoon picture with names describing a trait of your friends and tells you to tag others. Has been known to cause severe frustration, telling people to shut up or stop commenting, and untagging. It has also been known to be a cyber disease. They may also cause your email inbox to look like spam.

Guy 1- "Dude, that new picture is a helluva tag epidemic. I went home to go on Facebook and I had 178 notifications! All about one picture! People were even talking about the tag epidemic on the photo."

Guy 2- "Luckily I got only 56 notifications"

The Hubert Epidemic

An epidemic taking the community of patronizing coworkers by storm. It was discovered in the year 2016 by the same man who discovered Hubert's Constant.

Symptoms include and are absolutely not limited to the following:

Affected person(s):
-will suddenly happen to know everything about everything.

-will correct every pointless slip of the tongue or grammar mistake that you noticed but didn't bother to fix due to the lack of importance.

-will usually begin their sentences with either "aaaactually....", "You DO know...", "You DO realize..." or some other cocky, condescending way of trying to educate you about something.
-are incapable of humility.
-are incapable of admitting they do not know something.
-usually come up with shit.
-will use big words they don't understand to sound more photosynthesis.
-will repeat their 'intelligent' remarks until confirmation that somebody heard them. This may take days.

This sickness is especially contagious in children exceeding the age of 18. There is currently no cure but death.

"Hey man! I think I just put a pin in that really annoying thing people do! I call it The Hubert Epidemic!"

"AAACTUALLY, you DO REALIZE that what you REALLY MEANT was PANDEMIC?! EPIDEMIC isn't worldwide! You DO KNOW that RIGHT?!"

"Of course I do"

"WELL THEN I just CAN'T comprehend WHY someone would make SUCH a STUPID mistake."

"... Fuck you man"

Epidemiological Quotient [Epi Quo]

I have coined this term and it can be measured "to assess the knowledge of the doctors about the medicine and health in the social context".

Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo can be explained like If a doctor has good knowledge about the treatment of a illness but if he/she doesnt know that what is the problem statement of that disease in the society it can be said that He/She has low Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo. A good doctor knows the treatment and social pathology of that disease also(In other words, good in Epidemiology). eg. If doctor knows the treatment of diabetes but he doesnt know what all factors like Genetics, age, sex, socio economic status affect the chances of one getting Diabetes or what is the prevalence of it in his society then that doctor can be called that he has low epi quo. Knowing all this means Higher Epidemiological Quotient.

Swine Flu Epedemic

A strain of Influenza thought to have originated in Mexico amongst swines(more commonly known as pigs) and completely blown out of proportion by American media causing mass panic amongst citizens lacking common sense.

An excuse like bad economy for people to lower their standards or blame a failing endeavor on.

James:"Want to freak people out?"
Carl:"Yeah bro, how so?"
James: "Lets wear sombreros and cough around people in public."
Carl:"Abusing the Swine flu epedemic!GENIOUS!"

Ryan:"Jesus we had a bad opening for the new movie 17 Again"
Amanda:"What do you expect? It's hard to do anything in the bad economy especially with the swine flu going around"
Ryan:"..."

facebook epidemic

something, like a note, that spreads like wildfire throughout facebook.

Facebook Epidemic: Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose at least 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.(Or I just literally tagged randoms eventually) (To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
