Mafia Syndrome

A condition characterized by an overwhelming sense of paranoia at having one's back exposed or unprotected; The person who sits in the back of the class, or the back of the restaurant, or in the corner, like a real creeper, who is afraid of spontaneous back stabbings by strangers or hit men; So named because of the old days where mafia members never sat at a place in a restaurant where they could be attacked or caught unawares by someone coming in the front door. It has since carried over to the modern day, where it isn't really necessary, (unless you live in a third world country or maybe Iraq or North Korea) but somehow still affects people in all walks of life.

Waitress: "Sir, will this table be alright?"

Creeper: "No... no, let me have that booth that's in the corner...and turn out the light over the table please. I normally eat in the dark."

Dick Syndrome

When a close female friend of yours gets a boyfriend and you never hear from them. You are lucky to get a hello. With this dick in the vicinity they start acting like one, like they are permanently attached to it. They cancel plans for it or ignore you. As soon as that relationship does not work they are once again your friend looking for the next one.

" I never hear from Lisa anymore, she has changed since she met Todd. We used to spend lots of time together but now she prefers the company of his penis".

" Jenny and I used to spend a lot of time together, now she constantly cancels for reasons related to the boyfriend. Although she never blames it on that. Just crap that makes no sense. This is case of dick syndrome where his penis is a mind control machine".

Pastrana Syndrome

Also known simply as insanity. This disorder is so named for action sports/motorsports legend Travis Pastrana for obvious reasons. Symptoms of this disorder vary and may include but are not limited to; the desire to backflip(sometimes multiple times at once) a motocross bike, the desire to jump a rally car 269 feet followed immediately by a backflip from six stories high into the Long Beach harbor, the desire to jump out of an airplane without a parachute on, and (successfully)duplicating Evel Knievel's infamous Caesar's Palace fountain jump.

My buddy tried to hit a double backflip on his bike, i think he has a legit case of Pastrana Syndrome!

The AL syndrome

"The AL syndrome" is a workplace phenomenon characterized by individuals employing ostentatious language and intricate terminology to mask their lack of understanding or proficiency. This behavior is motivated by a desire to bewilder listeners, creating the illusion of competence while concealing a genuine deficiency in knowledge or skills. It often manifests in verbose, convoluted communication that serves to obfuscate rather than clarify. This tactic can be detrimental to effective collaboration and hinder productivity within a professional environment.

During the team meeting, Adam resorted to the AL syndrome, using a barrage of complex jargon to discuss the project, despite having a limited grasp on its intricacies.
