Fear of taking a day off from work, then have your job be replaced by someone more healthier, if not better than you, when you are fit to return.
The term was coined by author Dick Schaap. It came from Wally Pipp, a former first baseman for New York Yankees and could not play due to a headache in 1925, but it started the fabled Iron Man streak by Lou Gehrig until he was forced to retire with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Pipp never regained the starting 1B spot ever again, and he was put on waivers, and was signed by Cincinnati Reds in 1926.

Get the Wally Pipp Syndrome mug.The strange, often concerning behaviour that many people exhibit following a break up with their significant other, and/or in response to the jealousy of seeing them with someone else, in an attempt to cover up how broken they are deep down.

Get the Shit Story Syndrome mug.When someone is in a parasocial/one-sided relationship with a famous person (typically a celebrity or online personality).. and this famous person happens to exhibit toxic, abusive, or inappropriate behavior. The fan ignores their distasteful behavior and continues to support them.
Alternatively, maybe the fan is aware of what they're doing.. but they feel stuck in this one-sided relationship and it's hard for them to escape because of how attached they are.

I'm really into this guy.. but he also creeps me out sometimes. I feel like.. if I ever found out that he's actually a bad person that has done bad things, it would be really hard for me to detach myself from him.
The weirdest part? I don't even know him personally! He's a YouTuber. So why do I feel this way? It's like some form of.. parasocial stockholm syndrome that I'm experiencing or something. That's the only way I can describe it.

Get the Parasocial Stockholm Syndrome mug.Having Acute Chill-syndrome or ACS is very difficult, not only for yourself but also for those around you. One might not understand how hard it is to live with, but there are people whom get ACS for such an easy task as brushing your own teeth. What the syndrome does is that it puts your whole body under a sort of trans, where you can not do anything, except chill out for a minute. People living with people that have been diagnosed with the syndrome tend to live more relaxed and make more time for just chilling, but it can also be hard since one with ACS can barely do anything, hence yourself will be taking care of everything and doing every single task, with little to no help from the person inb your life with ACS. It is for now unclear what has caused people to get this syndrome, but weed and comedowns seem to be a part of this.
