Lame Duck Syndrome

A condition in which the affected individual is unwilling to exert effort into maintaining friendships so resorts to collecting 'lame ducks' (the socially inept) who are otherwise incapable of forming friendships. A degree of empathy is involved as those with lame Duck Syndrome lack the ability to leave people marginalised or uncomfortable in social situations; they gravitate towards the socially awkward 'lame ducks' in an attempt to make them feel more comfortable. The 'lame ducks' are consequently grateful and cling to the affected believing in the existence of a friendship, thus the affected often suffer as they do not end up socialising with the people they ought to be, but rather act as the glue holding together a group of social outcasts.
This syndrome may be recognised in an individual who does not appear socially defective, yet socialises (in an often perfunctory manner) with those who are; the 'weird kids', outsiders and the psychologically unstable.

He's got Lame Duck Syndrome, he can't help it.

Reverse Jack Syndrome

Reverse Jack Syndrome (RJS) is the opposite of the syndrome Robin Williams had in the movie "Jack." His character's affliction caused him to grow physically old while still being young in terms of years - RJS is the reverse of this. A person with RJS is relatively young and young-looking but acts and feels as if he/she is approximately 70 years old. For example, a person with RJS is almost always cold, regardless of temperature (this leads to wearing unfashionable slippers at home); has trouble hearing, thus the TV volume is always very loud; likes food commonly associated with old people, for ex. meatloaf and salisbury steak; has trouble with new technology; has preferences in terms of music, books, and culture in general that are usually linked with old folks; and is generally crabby, with the demeanor of a cranky old person.
"Jimmy, why is it 90 degrees in here? WTF?"

"Its cold in here."

Second husband syndrome

The second husband when the first marriage didn’t work out. The one who is suppose to “outdo” the predecessor. The second husband is supportive but never gets the kids on Father’s Day when they go to their “real” dad, even with as bad or neglectful as their real dad may be. The measurement of how second husbands “stack up” is ever-present with regards to the first husband and the comparisons span from the family relatives, children, friends, neighbors and the wife regardless of how good the second husband is.
“Jill always tries to make John feel good about his finances and body because of second husband syndrome. Her first husband Mark is a multi-millionaire and was a fitness model in college.”
