Ethel Syndrome

Slang for an ailment caused by missing someone, or “simping for someone”, most likely called Ethel. The reason the name “Ethel” was picked was because it originated from an elderly man who had strong feelings for his partner (named Ethel). Ethel Syndrome can be used interchangeably with the popular internet slang “simp”.

I like this girl so much, I must have a case of Ethel Syndrome.

Ethelynn

Ethelynn is one of a kind. She is hilarious, charismatic, kind, and she is not afraid to speak her mind. She is the most fun to be around. She gets along with (almost) everybody that she meets. As for those who she doesn’t, she doesn’t tolerate their bs. She’s like a cool older sister or maybe a supportive aunt who you can always be yourself with. If you have an Ethelynn in your life just know she is probably the single coolest person you will ever meet and you should definitely keep her around.

Angela: “ Did you meet mom’s friend Ethelynn?”
Mason: “I sure did! I can see why mom befriended her!”

The Ethel Walker School

The most amazing all girl school on the east coast. They are often sought after by the guys of AOF and Salisbury, but will not give them the time of day. Ethel Walker School's rivals are Miss Porters School aka Porkers. Porter's girls try to be like EWS girls but just fail. EWS girls excel at Sports, Academics, Dance, Equestrian, and Appearence. EWS girls are essentially the best around.

AOF guy: did that girl from MPS ask u out? Salisbury guy: Yea, but i'm holding out for The Ethel Walker School girls to come around.
