whale syndrome

A popular expression used by French Canadians, which depicts the urge to film and/or take as much pictures as possible of an event which seems amazing when seen in real-time, but appears devoid of interest when looking back at the footage and/or photos.

The expression's name relates to whale tours, a popular tourist attraction in Québec's Côte-Nord, during which this phenomenon is very frequent among newcomers.
Quebecer 1: Can you believe this? Aunt Jeanne managed to fill 3 memory cards with her photos from the whale tour...
Quebecer 2: Whale syndrome. Don't worry about it, that's a family trait. It's just like my grandfather who films fireworks shows.

whale watcher

A nigga who finds attraction in extremely-large, rotund, well-upholstered women who also have the brain function of the child of a sea cucumber and a fetus. If the women has dyed hair, their garguantuan size is accentuated according to the 'principle of pinguis mulieribus' where the bitch looks better in the whale watcher's eyes. Whale watchers portray simp-like behaviour, such as completing the whale's homework and defending the whale from slander from the watcher's own friends who are actually sane. This attraction to fat bitches can be attributed to a fried pineal gland caused by the lack of a father figure to guide them to the right way.
Have you seen Antony's latest instagram story? He's always complaining about bitches calling him ugly but here he is being a whale watcher. ඞ
