This said black woman often grows inside of the host affecting their music taste, vernacular, and often accompanied by loud outburst of soulful hearty singing without warning. This persist undetected until the untimely end of the incubation process (often in the month of February , during Kwanzaa, or sometime at soulful R&B concerts and occasionally at church services). resulting in the host being absorbed and taken over completely. Although not fatal, there is a largely notable increase in attitude, melatonin, and overall spice and sassiness once this process has run its course. ...Do your part to detect AIS as early as you can.

acute Sunday paranoia

A temporary but intense feeling of anxiety, dread, or irrational fear that occurs specifically on Sunday, often in anticipation of the upcoming week. This phenomenon can be linked to the "Sunday Scaries" but is characterized by heightened paranoia, such as excessive worry about work, social interactions, or personal responsibilities. Symptoms may include intrusive thoughts, overanalyzing past or future events, and a sense of impending doom that fades once Monday begins or responsibilities are actively confronted.
