Whoever came up with this name should be shot. The term 'chronic fatigue' doesn't do justice to this illness, which is much more akin to late stage AIDS than how you feel after a really hard workout.
CFS is a lot of fun because
1. doctors think you're full of shit
2. everyone else thinks you're just lazy
3. no one's bothered to invest in research for a cure, probably because CFS patients are too sick to get out of bed to stage outrageous public funerals, etc.

stuff people will say to you if you have chronic fatigue syndrome:
"it's all in your head"
"you have mental problems"
"at least you don't have cancer or anything. you're not going to die." (false. people with cfs do die. mostly because they kill themselves, but also because they overexert themselves, and their body gives out on them. I myself have very fond memories of being stuck, spread-eagled on my kitchen floor, unable to move).
"but you seem okay"
"let me prescribe you some prozac."
"you need to get off your behind and do something."
Indeed, no condition is a better breeding ground for bitter cynicism towards the rest of the human race that cfs. I get new reasons to hate people every day!

Get the chronic fatigue syndromemug. A man who obviously wants everyone he meets to immediately think he has a very large penis. This is because he is very poorly endowed and lacks any shred of self confidence.
A man suffering from Tiny Dick Syndrome (also called TDS) will take his shirt off at the slightest excuse, walk with his biceps flexed at all times, wear sunglasses inside, and brag about how many women he's supposedly slept with at every opportunity. He also drives a very large truck and will gravitate towards anything that will outwardly increase his status while leaving him inwardly an empty husk of a man (with a tiny penis). You will find victims of TDS pretending to have fun at frat parties, having loud conversations with their friends in public, and weeping over their wasted lives when they've had too much to drink. The slightest insult will either shatter their false confidence and leave them a whimpering wreck, or send them into a rage of overcompensation that ends with them challenging everyone in the room to some sort of contest.

Get the Tiny Dick Syndromemug. A condition which involves the ability to have a great first date, but never experience a second for some reason. The first dates often come in a string together. Can be caused by bad breakups, commitment issues, or bad end-of-date kissing skills. Not to be confused with playing the field, which implies not having a second date by choice.
"Are you going to see him again?"
"Are you kidding? I have first date syndrome. I'll be out with someone else next week."

Get the first date syndromemug. Fecal Alcohol Syndrome is the "scientificated" term for a phenominon usually referred to as the "beer shit."
A Beer Shit is the unique bowel movement one experiences after a night of heavy drinking.
This term is cheeky because it sounds sort of like "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome" which is a tragic condition indicative of a pregnant mother's consumption of alcohol during pregnancy.
