dead fish syndrome

When you’re tryna get it in with your girl but she’s just laying there like rigor mortis has set in. Not a single movement or sound escapes her body. Usually followed by “I swear it was good babe” when it in fact, was not good babe

“I was ‘Netflix and chilling’ with Becky last weekend and that bitch had dead fish syndrome.”

Perpetual Positivity Syndrome

A term coined by author Jeff Brown, PPS (Perpetual Positivity Syndrome) is one of the most common obstructions to awakening on the healing path. Defined as ‘the addictive need to default to positivity under any and all circumstances’, it prevents a maturation in the deep within because sufferers refuse to be present for all that is. Symptoms include a constant need to find the light in every situation, a tendency to forget or ‘rise above’ the negative aspects of their partners, an inability to fully support and hold the space for other’s suffering, and a turning away from the growth work demanded by life's challenges. Instead of forging a grounded, discerning positivity in the heart of all that is, they jump to the light, while averting the shadows that inform it. They reactively bliss-trip, when lessons are waiting in the wings to be learned. Those who suffer with PPS are often of the illusory view that they had perfect childhoods or that they have moved beyond the shadow, but they are sadly mistaken. If anything, their obsessive clinging to the ‘positive’ is rooted in their unresolved emotional material: pain and anger that will only come back to haunt them. At the end of the day (when the darkness settles in…), there can be no light without shadow. And no substitute for hard-earned transformation.

I eventually owned that I had Perpetual Positivity Syndrome, and I finally began to heal and grow.

Evil Dead Syndrome

When a media franchise's sequels either stray wildly from their original tone (usually in the direction of "wackiness"), usually by giving increasing importance to smaller aspects of the earlier works.

Named for Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" series, in which the first film was a serious horror movie with minor humorous bits, the second film "Evil Dead II" upped the ante, including a chainsaw-hand, culminating in the third film "Army of Darkness", which featured far too many insane (and awesome) items to begin to list.

Note that Evil Dead Syndrome is not necessarily a bad thing, and is not limited to films.

Paul: "Remember when The Fast & The Furious was about street racing and not about pulling a 20-tonne bank vault through a crowded city?"
Vin: "No."
Paul: "Me neither."

Pierce: "So in Saints Row IV, the boss becomes the President of the USA and fights an alien invasion."
Johnny: "I thought Saints Row was about gangsters?"
Pierce: "Don't be ridiculous!"

"Saints Row The Third drinks 'wackazade' from a clown shoe. This is a trilogy progression we academics call Evil Dead Syndrome." - Yahtzee Crowshaw
