Angry Young Man Syndrome

Angry Young Man Syndrome usually occurs between young men aged 18 to 22. This often coincides with their discovery of beer as a breakfast substitute.

The effects of Angry Young Man Syndrome are: not calling or visiting your family, being gruff with your family when you do see them, not giving presents to family or friends on key holidays and birthdays, being grumpy when you don't get very good presents back, complaining about how poor and poverty-stricken you are after buying the latest computer game, listening to Angry Young Man Music, being cynical about everything and everyone in general.

you are cut off young man

Expression used to convey that the person's resources have - or will be - cut off. Originates from Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers in which Rico's father cuts him off for being obnoxious and dangerously care-free.

The phrase "That's it! You are cut off!" can also be used. The following are instances in which these 2 expressions can be heard:

Example #1

Stan: Why isn't the internet working? I need to finish my homework!
Martin: Maybe something's wrong with the modem.
Jennifer: Your mother just disconnected the cable!
Martin: You are cut off young man!!

Example #2

Steve: Hey John, can you lend me some money?
Mark: You're asking him again? Didn't you already owe him?
John: That's it, you are cut off!

Mr.Bill Rico: I'm telling you, you will. You're not going back, you're going on vacation!
