Stressing Steve Syndrome 

The act of being stressed out to the point that you think you might actually die. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, shortness of breath aka hyperventilation, numbness of hands and feet, jumping out of moving vehicles so you can pace back and forth, slurring profanities for over an hour, stopping at circle K to buy Fadorade, etc.

perl syndrome 

A form of brain-damage in those who program too much in the write-only computer language Perl.

In it's most basic form, a Perl programmer will use Perl to accomplish common tasks for which other more appropriate (and easier) tools already exist. In extreme cases, those suffering from Perl Syndrome will set their login shell to Perl, and replace system executables with their own Perl monstrosities.

When confronted with evidence that they have Perl syndrome, one afflicted will become upset, deny that there's anything wrong, and respond "TMTOWTDI" ("There's More Than One Way To Do It" - Perl's motto.)
Asked by a newbie how to log the output of syslog to another host (a common Unix task), someone with Perl Syndrome replied that the 'easiest' way would be to write a 'simple' 25-line Perl script that would open a TCP connection to the remote host, tail the appropriate logfile, and write them out (another 'simple' Perl script would of course need to be written to accept and process this TCP connection.)

To the sufferer of Perl Syndrome, this was all simpler and easier than just enabling 'remote host' in the syslog configuration.

BFF Syndrome 

The BFF syndrome can be compared to an extreme case of bromance or the Chris Brown syndrome. A female will show signs of this syndrome, when she feels the need to continuously introduce her friend as her "BFF" to everyone; even the old man at the corner of Yonge and Dundas who screams "JESUS!" Yes, I know you know who that is! The BFF syndrome has physical affects on the fingers. The affected female may begin to text or dial the number of her friend profusely, many times during a day. A female who exhibits signs of the BFF syndrome becomes aggressive, obssessive, and possessive when she may not be able to get a hold of her friend. WARNING: Do not show her that you are rejecting or dismissing her. She will snap like a purity belt on Kim Kardashian. Lastly, the final sign of the syndrome, is when there is no consensus between both parties that there is a legitimate friendship.
Those who exibit the bff syndrome infamously are Tara Ried and Lindsay Lohan. You try to get rid of them, but they always find their way back.

Ostrich Syndrome

Refers to an affliction that some people exhibit when they are confronted by social, political, or controversial issues be that in their personal life or outside; they would just rather ignore it or as the ostrich does, bury his head in the sand when confronted by danger hoping it will go away.
Too bad that Jim doesn't see the restructuring going on at work that will cost him his job. He's hoping it won't affect him, he has Ostrich Syndrome.
If you can't see the subterfuge going on in government, you probably have Ostrich Syndrome.
