LAMS

A word (or rather an acronym that describes somebody that has "Look At Me Syndrome" (LAMS!)

Someone who has LAMS likes to be the centre of attention and if the room goes quiet they draw attention to themselves by being silly... or leaves a room returning wearing a wig, costume or doing something to draw people to look at them.

"Oh man! That guy Daniel has LAMS.. you can always rely on him to break the silence."
