Get the Broken Record Syndrome mug.An affliction where a patient uses "friend zone" unironically.
The patient sees friendships with people of sexual appeal as a failure.

Get the Open Leg Syndrome mug.The effect that Skibidi Toilet has on the youth. Mainly contracted my kids aged 2-9, Skibidi Toilet Syndrome is a mental disorder where a child is completely brainwashed by Skibidi Toilet, and proceeds to act like a Skibidi Toilet. This can usually be cured and/or prevented by not giving you toddler internet access, and instead forcing them to play outside like any normal fucking kid.

Get the Skibidi Toilet Syndrome mug.Snide Face Syndrome, or simply Snide Face, is an acute condition that occurs when meeting an acquaintance after a long period of absence and lack of contact.
SFS sets in at the point of reunion due to uncertainty of the status of the relationship. One, or both parties, may feel it is right to present a smile. The smile, however, is forced due to the uncertainty of the friendship and results in a contorted, snidey-looking face.
This facial contortion is uncontrollable and can be felt spreading up the face, causing great anxiety to the sufferer, and often lasts for the duration of the conversation.
