Get the racism fatiguemug. Racial battle fatigue is a term coined by professor William A. Smith that refers to the cognitive, emotional and physiological effects of being a person of color in environments that are both implicitly and explicitly racist.
Basically, it is the ways that racism has a negative effect on the psychology and physiology of people of color.
Physiological symptoms of RBF: tension headaches, backaches, elevated heartbeat, rapid breathing in anticipation of conflict, upset stomach, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, ulcers, elevated blood pressure. Psychological symptoms of RBF: constant anxiety and worrying, inability to sleep, sleep broken by haunting, conflict-specific dreams, intrusive thoughts and images, loss of self-confidence.

Symptoms include the overwhelming urge to curse and yell "Really????" when reading almost any headline, or email bulletin from Human Resources.
The stress from the modern work environment may often cause suffers to consume alcohol, and or play the guitar at Volume 11.
Causes are well understood. The human brain is not hardwired to speak as the everything should be filtered through a "lawyer buffer". Those on earth that still have some sort of "Sense of Humor" find the modern work environment challenging. (Not the WORK part.....the EGGSHELLS part

Get the meat fatiguemug. A medical, physiological and often financial condition sometimes experienced by males from their late-twenties to their mid-thirties (or any period in their lives in which large numbers their peers are reaching the ultimate and inescapable conclusion of the courting process). The number of stag-dos (or ‘bachelor-parties’ for users of the Atlantic dialect of the language commonly known as ‘Simple English’) experienced in a short periods of time can cause a form of fatigue well recognised within the LAD community.
'Deano, as a mate, yeah, can you honestly tell me how knackered and skint are you? We’ve had Gav’s stag in Marbs in May, yeah, Ste’s in Tenerz in June, and now we’ve got Wozza’s coming up in Blackpool in July. I’m not kicking off or owt coz I’m well made up to be out with the lads but I’ve properly got stag-fatigue. To be fair, Vegas for Dan’s in August is gonna be sick even though Tony won’t be able to make it after the ban he got after the incident on the flight to Kavos for Dan’s. Shall we have another sambuca?'
