attention whore

A person who is constantly looking for attention that he/she can never get in real life. It's also possible that this person has a really crappy life and proceeds to hide it and pretend that he/she's above the people he makes fun of. It is the sole reason why this person constantly screams about his opinion on the internet, looking up videos a bout things he hate and then leaving links to his/her own crappy videos just to get views. This person will also go through great lengths to try and find people that agree with them in hopes of finally getting the sense of belonging somewhere.

An example of an online attention whore would be this guy : alexsavov2 or his alter ego : oldsaviboy

This person is the epitome of attention whores. He constantly goes to every Frozen related posts just to scream that he hates and then proceeds to leave links to his videos about him screaming how he hates Frozen. Sometimes you even see him on videos that have nothing to do with Frozen and then this guy brings it up out of nowhere and then proceeds to scream some more of how much he hates like we get it! Shut up about this damn movie it's been two years! Move on, you're acting no better than the immature Frozen fanboys/fangirls.

Attention Span Ponzi Scheme

An Attention Span Ponzi Scheme is a system of recruitment of people to pay attention to a topic. People recruited to the topic are then encouraged to drag in the attention spans of others.

The entire system collapses when everyone realizes that the topic is bankrupt of value to be discussed in the first place.

Examples of Attention Span Ponzi Schemes include chain letters, time-wasting Facebook applications, and any social reference group that is based on recruiting others to participate or play for the subject to have sustained interest.

attending-level car

an automobile (Mercedes SLR, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Gallardo, etc) costing as much as a house, purchased when the debt-ladden physician-in-training finally obtained his/her license as an attending physician, hence just enough cash to burn for a show car.

This phrase is usually used by a young single male medical student to remind himself of the bright but distant future, when his present involves no presitge, no girlfriends, and no cash-money

med student cire: man, i looked like an idiot when my attending pimped me about 2 biochemical pathyways, 3 rare hereditary diseases, and the brachial plexus, also, i couldnt answer 1/3 of final exam questions today, and 14 skinny blonde chicks rejected my sexual advances.

medical student gnohz: don't worry, when you finally get your attending-level car, the universe will correct itself.
