Fake Diagnosis

A fake diagnosis is a diagnosis given to a group of normal people who display unwanted behaviors. To gain public acceptance, the diagnosis is approved by the official psychiatric associations and supported by government and the medical establishment. Children in public schools are the most common victms.

Jimmy got removed from the class for objecting to being forced to sit in a room listening to pointless information. The authorities say he has autism and adhd. But we know that’s just a fake diagnosis.

Zebra Diagnosis

When someone hears obvious telltale signs of one things, and assumes it's something similar but off the wall. Origins from the show Scrubs

Guy 1: I had a Zebra Diagnosis the other day.
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1:I heard galloping and whinnying so I assumed it was a zebra.

Guy 1: Man, I don't feel so good.
Guy 2: What's wrong?
Guy 1: My nose is running and I'm tired, I bet I have swine flu!
Guy 2: Dude, whatever. That's a zebra diagnosis, you have a cold.

Google Diagnostic

Used by "Do It Yourselfer" to find out what's wrong with something. Person that uses Google search engine to check forums and topic specific web sites to find what part they should throw at the problem. Can be used for a check engine light on a car to a washing machine or a PC with the blue screen of death.

My engine light was on so I did a Google diagnostic and all the people on the forums say it needs a putooter valve. I replaced it and my lights still on,wtf
