Elisha Grey Syndrome 

Developing a new idea independently (i.e., without assistance of others), only to discover that someone else has already developed the same idea.

Named for Elisha Grey, who invented the telephone independently of and at the same time as Alexander Graham Bell. Though they filed for patents on the same day, Bell won the patent battle in court.
I had a brilliant idea the other day about how this neighborhood really could use a donut-shop. Then, I found out one is scheduled to open next week. Guess I have Elisha Grey Syndrome.

The Snoop Dogg Syndrome

The Snoop Dogg Syndrome is a term used to describe something or someone who had a fantastic start, but later had a falling curve. The name comes from the artist Snoop Dogg, who has had this development. He had a fantastic start with "The Chronic" and "Doggystyle" but has since fallen off and become a shadow of himself.

Pete: Naw, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" was great, but he got the Snoop Dogg syndrome in 2005, has'nt been the same since...

Manberger's Syndrome 

Similar to Asperger's Syndrome (which is a developmental syndrome on the Autism Spectrum categorized by social difficulties, difficulties picking up on subtle social cues, expressing empathy, and typically having a special interest area). Manberger's applies to men who exhibit many of the symptoms of Asperger's, but do not actually fall on the Asperger's Spectrum. These men are often employed in fields like engineering and computer science, and cause many women eternal frustration.
Manberger's Syndrome symptoms include (but are not limited to): inability to understand how to comfort someone emotionally rather than just offering asinine "solutions" problems, difficulties expressing emotion other than anger, frustration, and neutral, difficulties expressing empathy, difficulties behaving considerately toward others, and obliviousness to the rich social and emotional subtleties and relational connections going on around them. These men might suggest that a woman marry them just for the health insurance (because obviously getting married is about nothing more than this) or say something like "It didn't occur to me to consider how you might feel if I ate all your leftovers."
