Pool-child Syndrome

Found in teenagers and adults who grew up with a swimming pool. Symptoms include always insisting on activities taking place at their home and rarely participating in activites taking place at someone elses home. (ex. movie nights, dinners, etc.) These people may be, at times, condescending, persuasive, and defensive when they have to venture outside of their own home.

These teenagers and adults are used to not leaving their own comfort zone because as a kid they did not have too. Friends and other kids always went to their house to swim because they had a pool. Now these people are jerks.

Gary Numan syndrome

A promoter's fear of not selling any pre-sale tickets for a fucking legendary artist! Goddamnit!

In reference to Gary Numan's gig in Geneva (Switzerland)on May 16th, 2006, when not a single pre-sale ticket had been purchased (though an intimate crowd of people got their tickets at the box office on the night of the concert).
- Hey mate, I've just booked this great artist to perform at a really neat venue, but I fear that no one's going to buy a ticket because everyone's a fucking ignorant!
- Dude, you've got the Gary Numan syndrome.
- Fuck!

Younger model syndrome

When a woman ages and another younger version of herself steps onto the scene, be it innocent or not, she feels threatened. Said women will unleash fury on her partner if he so much as looks at younger model with the slightest hint of admiration. This fury may not be overt but layered into nuances.
Steve:
Dude what's wrong with your girlfriend? She's got some serious sand in her vagina. She only seems to get like that when Alison* is around.

Mark:
Yeah she's just suffering from "younger model syndrome"

Barry Sanders Syndrome

A psychological disorder in which an athlete is an excellent player on a team that fails to find any scrap of success. Named after Barry Sanders, an NFL running back who played his entire 10-year career with the woefully horrible atrocious Detroit Lions.
Example: Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns may be suffering from Barry Sanders Syndrome, as he is the only player on that team with a clue!

Center of Attention Syndrome

Someone suffering from COAS is so pre-occupied with themselves and their issues that they have a hard time paying attention to anyone else. An extreme version of being self-centered narcissists, sufferers of COAS frequently don't know that they suffer from COAS, but they would love the idea that they suffered from an illness.
Yo! That girl totally suffers from COAS, Center of Attention Syndrome. She had no idea that my dog died because she was too focused on the drama with that bitch from her job. self-centered narcissist self-absorbed douchebag
