six degrees of separation

The theory that any two people in the world are connected in some way by no more than six people.
Using sexual contact as an example: when one has contact with another person, contact is effectively made with every person that person has come into contact with, and every person those people have come into contact with and so on.

the empty feeling you feel when you realize that as of July 2011, there will be no new installments of Harry Potter, and that the Deathly Hallows is going to make you cry because it will all be over.
Person 1: "Man, I can't believe how good Deathly Hallows was."

Person 2: "Yeah, this just means I'm gonna have a bad case of Harry Potter separation anxiety now that it's over."

The idea that any two people on Facebook can be connected through no more than 4 mutual friendships.

The average person has 130 friends on Facebook, meaning that they have on average 130² friends of friends, 130³ friends of friends of friends, and so on. In six degrees that encompasses 130^5 people. This is 3.7 billion people, more than the entire global Facebook community.

Drone Separation Anxiety

The horrible feeling you get when:
1. You see your drone developing a mind of its own and flying back to mainland China where it was begotten.
2. When you forget your drone(s) at work and to go get them is a hassle.
3. When your partner drags you to the Opera and you'd rather be flying your drones.
4. When you can't sleep thinking you have not properly charged the drone batteries for the next day's flight.
5. When your classes drag on & on and all you're thinking is locking in some GPS and soaring.

The realization that usually occurs around thirty-five, and most typically in men who have been circumsized (it's generally unheard of in women), that your foreskin is gone, it isn't coming back, and that you miss it. Complete mental breakdowns have been attributed to this disorder (which is found in the DSM-IV-R).
Biff: Doctor Rob, what am I gonna do? I miss it so much...It's just too hard to go on without it. Is there any way to help me? Can we maybe find it on the internet?

Doctor Rob: Somehow, Biff, i doubt your foreskin is living a successful and happy life in the suburbs of Cleveland. I'm sure it more likely found its way to the hospital incinerator shortly after you were born. You've got delayed foreskin separation anxiety disorder, and I'm prescribing Paxil and Diazapam. They should help you out.
