A recognised medical condition where an a person, typically an intern at a big law firm, is denied the guarantee of a stipend (pay) despite the quality of his work and the large size and revenue of the firm
Jim: Mike! It's been months since I last saw you in law school! I heard you're a big shot intern at a big corporate law firm now eh - you must be rolling in mad stacks of cash!!
Mike: Actually, I've been suffering from stipendosis
Jim: Goodness.. is there a cure?
Mike: It is beyond my reach because I only want to work for large reputable corporate firms that knowingly underpay interns despite their enormous revenue stream. I enjoy reading the firm's Partner's LinkedIn posts that complain about income inequality even though I know she was responsible for the decision to underpay interns like me.
Jim: what is wrong with you man
Mike: I don't even know what's right or wrong anymore

Get the crest-striped mug.Describes the carefree, easy existence of moneyed young Brits; those teens and young adults supported entirely by unearned sources of income, esp. from parents/grandparents. Akin to the American "trust fund kid" existence, stipend life does not necessarily require a large amount of money and can be achieved through some combination of mooching from relatives, expecting others (but never other stipend lifers, as this would be taken as a sign of poverty) to finance things, borrowing heavily from family and occasional casual work (usually cut short by stipend lifers lack of motivation/discipline for anything not involving pleasure). Stipend life involves being proudly out of touch with normality. Stipend lifers bond by mocking ordinary, working people and their daily tribulations. Travelling must be in business or first class, if available, or private jet if stipend extends to this. Summers in luxurious resorts (e.g. Monaco, Cadaques, St. Tropez).
Time not spent entirely in the pursuit of pleasure is generally spent collecting degrees, travelling or engaging in some sort of exclusive hobby (e.g. learning to fly, playing polo or motorsports) or working on some vanity project.
Stipend life motto is, "A Mercedes, however acquired, is still a Mercedes", and the traditional shibboleth of of stipend lifers is, "Stipend life is good life".
