Barnum Statement 

A Barnum Statement is a phrase used by conmen (for example a psychic) to try and make people think they have some deep insight into their psychology or life.
They are also commonly used in horoscopes

Barnum Statements are statements which most people will agree with, regarding themselves, while not realizing that almost every other person will also agree with them regarding their own lives

examples are:
"you have a good sense of humor, but not everyone sees it"
"you tend to think about things before taking action"
"You have had some major challenges in your life"
"you recently had a disagreement with someone you care for"

"The psychic told me that I was quite intelligent, but other people dont always see it"
"Sounds like she was just feeding you a Barnum Statement"

Break Barnum 

When you have a normal life with a loving husband and two kids, but you decide to exchange it in your early middle age for a traveling circus life of failed business ventures, and monthly domestic violence incidents with the local white trash king who has sired half the illegitimate children in town, including your own new baby daughter.

My wife and I had a pretty good life, until she decided to Break Barnum, and live with the local man whore in a shithole apartment above his rat infested restaurant.

post-barnum depression 

n. Moderate to severe depression in a performer or staff person after giving birth to a fantastic blow-your-mind show, when the cast and crew diaspora leaves your hitherto fervent banner flaccid in the listless echoing breeze. Onset is typically a few days after the blowout closing party.

Symptoms include sadness, fatigue, insomnia, appetite changes, having the libido of an awkward teenaged virgin, crying episodes, hysterical laughter, irritability, staring at Google Maps, the tuneless humming of barn-revival spirituals, chromatic-motion melodies in 6/8 time, or minor-key adaptations of Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger', and Facebook status updates.

Food-related cravings are not uncommon, especially for hot dogs, or paper and plastic bags of salty-yet-sweet snack foods (e.g., kettle corn). A dull disappointment is inevitable when the lid is removed from a can of peanut brittle and the sufferer is not EVER greeted by spring-loaded snakes. Honestly, what's the use.

Commonly abbreviated as PBD.

Closely related to "post-camp depression" (PCD), "post-con syndrome" (PCS), "whoa, too fun" (WTF).

"Joseph has to come up with a usage example for urbandictionary.com today, but his post-barnum depression is pretty severe. He just keeps hanging upside-down from his workstation desk and calling his mouse Templeton."
