Middle Child Syndrome 

A disposition that generally arises with the middle child of three children in a household. Middle children often lack the attention that the oldest (the most important child) and the youngest (the parent's favorite child) receive.

Middle child syndrome is often characterized by: lack of friends (a loner), inability to maintain relationships, extreme creativity (writing, music, art, etc.), an easy going personality, trouble choosing a career path, trouble maintaining a career, quick loss of interest in things, negative outlook on life, half-assing, and indecisiveness. Famous middle children include David Letterman, Madonna, and Richard Nixon. Need I say more?
I am a middle child. I suffer from middle child syndrome. Therefore I am creative in writing this, but also extremely middle child-esque for writing this melancholy piece.

GM Syndrome 

An affliction that takes hold when a company (usually automotive) becomes too large and believes that they are too big to fail or lose customer base. Goes hand-in-hand with a bloated sense of self-worth, an out-of-touch management and disregard of serious problems and/or customer input.

Stems from the early 1970s when General Motors lost touch with the American consumer. In the belief they could not fall from grace, they continued to produce large, gas-guzzling cars that people didn't want. This allowed Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota to come in and grab a large share of the Baby Boomers.
Person 1: "Did you hear? Toyota is now suffering from the GM Syndrome."

Person 2: "That's a shame. They used to make such great cars."
