TiVo Syndrome 

When someone who has a TiVo or DVR system tries fast-forwarding though live TV out of a habit of viewing recorded programs.

Some may pause during a commercial and try to blow some time so that they may eventually skip through commercials.
What's she doing?

Oh, she's got TiVo Syndrome. She thinks that everything is already pre-recorded.

Dota syndrome 

The "dota syndrome" is basically a form of fear for change that the individual fights at first but after a time grows accustomed to and even starts to enjoy.

The term comes from the action-rpg game DotA, which is regularly updated in different "versions" by it's sole developer Icefrog. In some of those versions, very major changes are made to the game that might effect the very core of the gameplay. When the changelog for such a version is released, many fans tend to complain about the changes before they've actually tried it (called "theorycrafting"). After a few days however, pretty much all of the people who previously complained have adapted to the changes and realised they were for the best. Then a few months afterwards, a new version is released and the pattern repeats itself.
I can't believe they've changed the taste of my favourite soda!

Don't worry about it, you're just suffering from dota syndrome. You will never notice the difference soon enough.

Chipotle Syndrome 

A physical addiction to Chipotle Burritos. The thought of the word "Chipotle" can suddenly make an individual with Chipotle syndrome feel excessively hungry, and possess a voracious craving for Chipotle Burritos.

Symptoms:
1. Begin to eat at least one daily burrito every day.
2. The word "burrito", in a pavlovian manner, signals it's time for a meal at Chipotle.

3. Craving for Chipotle Burritos.
4. Most other foods pale in comparison to Chipotle Burritos

in one's mind, and are far less desirable.
Jim: Yeah, so I took this girl to Chipotle for dinner last night. It was beautiful!
Derek: Yeah, she's hot?
Jim: I added that hot sauce. Burrito was incredible!
Derek: Man, you need help. You have it.
Jim: Have what?
Derek: Chipotle syndrome.

chimjersen syndrome

People that post statuses on facebook just to get sympathy from all their followers. You can generally spot these people by having three statuses in a row that talk about bad things happening to them. It's very similar to Munchausen disease, but the sympathy comes from comments people reply to their posts.
That girl is always posting depressing statuses, she must have chimjersen syndrome

Pyjama Syndrome 

An a state of mind that begins from the moment you wake up, which is associated with laziness and procrastination but is really an unforgiving, endless cycle from which you will never escape.

This state of mind is activated from the moment you wake up and spend your day in your pyjamas, which you'll soon realize, is controlling your mind, and you won't be able to do anything about it.
I wake up in pyjamas and have a lazy pyjama morning, this lazy pyjama morning later turns into a lazy pyjama afternoon, which turns into a lazy pyjama evening, and the cycle endlessly repeats. - Pyjama Syndrome

Grenade Syndrome 

This is when a fat or unattractive looking women believes she is hot and can have any man she desires.

The grenade is the less attractive of the women in her group. They often get approched first by men. As this is often the way the group of men initiate conversation with the group of women. Thus giving the grenade a false sense of popularity and attractiveness level. Aka grenade syndrome.
My fat friend told me that she loves going out clubbing as she can get any man she wants. I dont want to tell her that she has grenade syndrome!
