Martha Stewart Syndrome

When a person becomes so set in their ways that they cannot tolerate a partner moving in with them.
This would upset all the fine decorating choices in one's home.

-There's no way he's moving in with me at this point, I've got my no more closet space and my cat won't like his dog.

-Sounds like a serious case of Martha Stewart Syndrome.

New Shoe Syndrome

A disease commonly occuring in people of the female gender, when they go on large shopping sprees, and buy beautiful new shoes. This disease results in indecisiveness on what pair of new shoes to wear, basing your outfit around your shoes, or wearing shoes with ridiculous outfits - like high heels with pyjamas, etc.

"Dang, girl! You need to get over this New Shoe Syndrome!"
"I can't help it! I love my shoes soooo much!"
"You're wearing your PYJAMAS! WITH BOOTS!"
"But they're so cuuuute...."

Soap Opera Syndrome

The tendency to be mesmerized by television. Trance like state brought on by televised commercial advertisements interspersed with fragments of dramatic teleplays. Also, as a component of post-industrial consciousness. e.g. "Television rules the nation."

The term references the advent of drama created to sell soap, soap operas. Broadcast on radio with soap manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, and Lever Brothers as sponsors and producers.

Alice: Everyone says I probably have Attention Deficit Disorder. It's possible considering I am easily distracted. Theres got to be some excuse. What do you think? Bob?

Bob: Huh? Sorry Alice I was zoned on this laundry detergent advert. Tide really does get my whites whiter and only 'mildly' pollutes our drinking water.

Alice: I'm thirsty.

Alien: Soap Opera Syndrome

Advertisements take airtime away from programs. In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time now includes 22 minutes of programming with 6 minutes of national advertising and 2 minutes of local.
