pollyannafest 

When two sickeningly sweet people get more and more excited, while talking about what they think are good, happy subjects.

It often reaches a point where the participants:

1. face each other and grip hands
2. hop up and down and spin
3. emit faster and louder screeching

This results in the more "realistic" listeners, to violently upchuck.

Pollyanna was a best-selling 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter, about an eternally positive young girl, and was adapted for film by Disney in 1960. It starred child actress Hayley Mills, who won an Oscar for the role.

polyanna 

Misspelling of Pollyanna, from a 1913 Eleanor H. Porter children's book then later film, of a wildly overly optimistic protagonist. Someone, conically female, so stuck in the good vibes that they can't don't understand what is happening around them. Overly fixated on the small good to intentionally ignore the bad.

Bill being all polyanna is actually happy about being fired from that job he hated and is making all kinds of plans now.

“LaReina’s parents were divorced so she suffered from Pollyanna syndrome, she had no response when her husband requested a divorce, told the girls at sewing circle it’d be no biggie.”
