A person with no life who finds different mental illnesses to look 'quirkier', or to excuse their rude behaviour. Guess what, Stacy, you do not have OCD because you like to put your pencils in a rainbow pattern!!! You also don't have ADHD because you have a sad amount of fidget toys!!!!!

The act of searching medical websites to match real or imagined symptoms in oneself or ones friends and family. This automatically makes the searcher a medical expert and this person is usually known for their hypochondriac tendencies and uncanny abilities to drive you nuts.
Woman A: (cough) "I'm not feeling so hot."

Woman B: "Do you have shortness of breath and a fever?"
