chinese buffet syndrome

A condition associated with all-you-can-eat restaurants where diners wish to get such good value for money that they starve themselves all day in anticipation of being able to indulge in unlimited food. However, as a result of this period of anorexia the stomach shrinks and upon eating aforementioned buffet the stomach feels full in an unusually short amount of time.

Wow, I've only eaten one plate of sweet and sour chicken balls but I've got chinese buffet syndrome, I'm stuffed!

shiny upperclassmen syndrome

When a boy becomes more appealing to a girl simply because he is older than her, specifically if he is an upperclassman (junior or senior in high school). It seems many younger girls are drawn to older guys for this reason, even if he doesn't really have much else going for him. For girls, dating up is somewhat prestigious.
I suppose this could also apply in college, but I have not yet come across that scenario.

"Why does she even like him? He isn't very cute and his personality is just so-so..."

"She must have shiny upperclassmen syndrome."

Red wedding Syndrome

The feeling that in every book/tv show you are exposed to anytime anything slightly dramatic starts to happen, every character you like in that scene will die. Most noted after a viewer watches "Game of Thrones" red wedding scene for the first time.

"I feel bad for the poor guy, he's got red wedding syndrome and freaks out even watching Disney movies, wondering who dies next."

Suddenly Handsome Syndrome

Expat slang. Same meaning as an LBH or Loser Back Home. A directionless male expat who leaves his home country for a developing economy country and is viewed as "handsome" and "successful" by the local women.

Ted is a total LBH with Suddenly Handsome Syndrome because he's lived in Asia for over 30 years and is on his third hot wife. Back in North America, he'd be nothing more than a pathetic, short, annoying dude who speaks Mandarin.
