Guitar Acquisition Syndrome

Guitar acquisition Syndrome, or rather "GAS" is when you check out an awesome new guitar that you just HAVE to own, no matter what the cost. You lose sleep. You can't eat. It drives you mad!

I just spent $1000 on a guitar w/ money I don't even have. Now I'm in debt and eating from a trash can. I've relieved my Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, but now I suffer from buyers remorse and homlessness.

Erotic food-acquisition

Where, in the process of acquiring food (whether it be in a school lunchline or drive through) you are in the process of foreplay with another, or yourself. In more extreme cases this may extend to sex but such acts are generally discouraged in public settings, exceptions do exist though.

Not to be confused with Erotic-food acquisition.

There are two types of erotic food-acquisition:subtle and stupid.

one resulting in "That guys voice kept changing over the speakers and he was breathing hard."

The other resulting in "That guy was getting head."

character trait acquisition

A term invented by HG Tudor, famous NPD author, proving that imitation is NOT, in fact, the sincerest form of flattery. Instead it's the preferred method of destruction for a narcissist to try and steal everything good about you like the mythological Ape of Thoth. They are trying to steal your place at the table in life, your professional/private destiny and social karma. It is a theft of your erotic capital, unique personal style, idiolect or manner of speech, intellectual capital, social capital including hobbies etc. It's giving Single White Female but this can happen to anybody, from anyone else, including cultural appropriation from any outgroup racially, sexually or generic outsider in class. It continues until they steal the target's life including spouse and friends or they are exposed for being too blatant or possibly, rarely, find another juicier target or can no longer access the original target, like being blocked. Paper trails are useful with these types of people because they will project whatever they are doing onto you, always be the first to publish something of yours, never let them see or edit anything. Never tell them your plans, even something frivolous and simple like your intended outfits and favourite restaurants. Stay vague and go Grey Rock to survive. Do not let them interrogate you on your life, beliefs, plans, dreams, crushes etc.

e.g. "Meghan was dressing like Diana again."
"She really thinks we won't notice? Creepy."
"Classic character trait acquisition."
"Why is HG always right?"
"Eton, I guess."
