Aflockalypse

Name for occurrences of sudden mass animal deaths provoking comparisons to a cataclysmic event such as the 'Apocalypse'.

Incidents starting on Dec 31 2010 with thousands of red-winged blackbirds dropping from the skies over Beebe, Arkansas, USA received widespread attention from the public and media. Dead birds, dead fish, crabs and other mass animal deaths, not uncommon, but not usually widely reported, became a source of alarm in the public eye, mainly due to the usually unexplained reason for the deaths.

Term coined by Washington Post writer Melissa Bell in an article covering the deaths being reported across the United States and Europe in early January 2011.

affluenza

Affluenza, typically referred to as "rich bitch itch" or "silver spoon syndrome", is a contagious disorder usually resulting from living off the pay cheque and/or status of others. Often those affected with affluenza show symptoms early in the disease, with affected children learning to display their caregivers wealth or status in order to acquire friendships.

Contamination later in life is generally limited to those of the female persuasion who use their husband or partner's status to sway the balance of power in their favour. Though seen in males on occasion, it is generally quite rare for males to be infected by the position power of their partner or spouse.

Though a cure has not been definitely established, affluenza is often treated by therapy which can include community service at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. More intense treatment for this disorder includes forced relocation away from the source of the patient's perceived power. Some professionals believe neurasnobberase inhibitors are highly effective in small doses but studies have been inconclusive.
