Neurotypical Syndrome

Also known as a non-autistic person i.e. a person who doesn't have autism. Neurotypical syndrome has a high prevalence in the population, to the extent it is often considered normal. Hence, the inclusion of the term 'typical' in the naming of the syndrome.
Neurotypical syndrome has been defined by Steve Silberman as a neurobiological disorder characterised by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity. There is no known cure.

Chris drinks beer because Big Terry drinks it, even though Chris doesn't like the taste of beer. This appears to be symptom of neurotypical syndrome.

Good Debater Syndrome

Good Debater Syndrome, or GDS, entails that skilled male and female debaters appear attractive to other debaters, even if their appearance if abhorrent.

Me: Katryna isn't really that hot, but this 2NR is so fucking good, I'm super turned on right now.

Scott Moliver: It's just the GDS, dude...

Scott Moliver's mom: What's GDS?

Scott Moliver: Good Debater Syndrome.

Girl Next Door Syndrome

A wholesome girl, usually quite young and not bad on the eyes. She is the type of girl who is always there for you when you need her; she's selfless and tries hard to be the "relationship girl" but ends up being the "guy's girl" because she's relatable without trying too hard to be which is why she gets along with mothers. When she obtains this position, it is hard to get out of and she is waiting on a game changer. She has an innocent look to her but a secret sexual appeal that every guy she encounters can see. Instead of trying to touch her emotionally, their goal is to touch her physcially and to try to peel back and see that sexual side. This girl is the girl you remember from your childhood; She's usually the shy girl with the dimple and the one that father's want their sons to be with. But she will always be in this loop because everyone wants to see beyond the eyes. Time and patience are the only cures.

Bailey is always single but not because she is unattractive or by her choice, it's because she has the Girl Next Door Syndrome.

Nightingale syndrome

The Florence Nightingale effect is a situation where a caregiver develops romantic feelings for their patient. Many often misunderstand the term to mean the opposite; that is, a patient falling in love with the caregiver as a result of interpreting an amiable bedside manner as affection.

See Florence_Nightingale_effect on Wikipedia, often confused with Nightingale syndrome (which is something else entirely).

chronic fatigue syndrome

Whoever came up with this name should be shot. The term 'chronic fatigue' doesn't do justice to this illness, which is much more akin to late stage AIDS than how you feel after a really hard workout.

CFS is a lot of fun because
1. doctors think you're full of shit
2. everyone else thinks you're just lazy
3. no one's bothered to invest in research for a cure, probably because CFS patients are too sick to get out of bed to stage outrageous public funerals, etc.

stuff people will say to you if you have chronic fatigue syndrome:
"it's all in your head"
"you have mental problems"
"at least you don't have cancer or anything. you're not going to die." (false. people with cfs do die. mostly because they kill themselves, but also because they overexert themselves, and their body gives out on them. I myself have very fond memories of being stuck, spread-eagled on my kitchen floor, unable to move).
"but you seem okay"
"let me prescribe you some prozac."
"you need to get off your behind and do something."

Indeed, no condition is a better breeding ground for bitter cynicism towards the rest of the human race that cfs. I get new reasons to hate people every day!

Tiny Dick Syndrome

A man who obviously wants everyone he meets to immediately think he has a very large penis. This is because he is very poorly endowed and lacks any shred of self confidence.

A man suffering from Tiny Dick Syndrome (also called TDS) will take his shirt off at the slightest excuse, walk with his biceps flexed at all times, wear sunglasses inside, and brag about how many women he's supposedly slept with at every opportunity. He also drives a very large truck and will gravitate towards anything that will outwardly increase his status while leaving him inwardly an empty husk of a man (with a tiny penis). You will find victims of TDS pretending to have fun at frat parties, having loud conversations with their friends in public, and weeping over their wasted lives when they've had too much to drink. The slightest insult will either shatter their false confidence and leave them a whimpering wreck, or send them into a rage of overcompensation that ends with them challenging everyone in the room to some sort of contest.

first date syndrome

A condition which involves the ability to have a great first date, but never experience a second for some reason. The first dates often come in a string together. Can be caused by bad breakups, commitment issues, or bad end-of-date kissing skills. Not to be confused with playing the field, which implies not having a second date by choice.

"Are you going to see him again?"
"Are you kidding? I have first date syndrome. I'll be out with someone else next week."
