Gorilla in the Mirror Syndrome

Gorilla in the Mirror Syndrome or GOMS is when try and have a serious argument with someone, but they don't fully understand the reason for the position or assume you're position is different to what it actually is and think you're position is just selfish, vindictive or evil and carry on arguing with you based what they think you're position is rather than what it actually is. Quickly dismissing every point you, no matter how carefully it's done.

An example is Cathy Newman when interviewing Jordan Perterson.

Taken from the theory that Gorillas probably are self-aware like the other great apes, however when a Gorilla is shown a mirror it will just continuously attack it before it has a chance to realise what its actually looking at.

She's not listening to you, she has Gorilla in the mirror syndrome.

Snake Eater Syndrome

A weird phenomenon involving the 2004 video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, where seeing a ladder automatically reminds one of the section in the game where Naked Snake has to climb a very tall ladder. This triggers recall of Cynthia Harrell's song Snake Eater, and in many cases verbal mimicry of the song.

Person 1: "oh hey look, a ladder!"
Person 2" "What a thrill..."
(Example of snake eater syndrome)

Repeating Status Syndrome

A severe illness which involves a person's myspace or facebook status to be sent repeatedly, resulting in a lengthy vertical line of the same status. This syndrome can be deadly...if you experience any of the symptoms associated with it, please see a specialist at www.myspace.com or www.facebook.com

Setting a status as:

"I'm baking a cake!"

A healthy Myspace or Facebook account would appear like this:

"I'm baking a cake!"

However, with the symptoms of Repeating Status Syndrome, it would appear like so:

"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"


etc...
