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"

popademic

Books or articles written by academics on academic topics such as the new nature of cities or the interconnectedness of the world. These works are intended to be popular, frequently are on best seller lists, and are aimed at a specific type of mass audience, usually one that is educated and works in the professional service sector. Usually, this audience has a large enough disposable income to afford popademic works.

Richard Florida's book, "The Rise of the Creative Class" is a popademic book. So is "Freakanomics."

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"

Pidemic

Short for “Pi Pandemic.” A frightening 2D or 3D mathematical meme or short clip released by some rogue mathematicians or math educators on the number π to terrorize millions of students and their parents, many of whom suffer from math anxiety to a certain degree.

The pidemic is a great awakening among members of the global mathematical community in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, as they’re clueless how to help an oft-math-anxious or semi-innumerate lay public to come to terms with these two evils.
