(glam'-ber-TI-tis) noun.
A recently discovered infection with no known cure. It is hypothesized that the infection
will resolve itself over
time, but the infection has not been present long enough to subject it to longitudinal study.
Symptoms include hyperfocus on any written, audio, or visual materials having to do with 2009
American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, known for his affection for glam fashion, glam
music, and glitter. The infected subject is unable to change focus to, or even remember, necessary activities, which include but are not limited to homework, chores, picking up children from
school, or previously scheduled events. Infected persons may also have financial difficulty due to purchasing numerous items related to Adam Lambert.
Glambertitis may also result in uncontrollable physical changes including increased
heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, as well as occasional inflammation and muscle contraction. (See also myopia, selective hearing, adamgasm, kradamgasm.)
Kayla: Where's Marie? We're supposed to be
studying for our Biology final in the morning.
Ashley: Forget it. She's been searching
YouTube for Adam Lambert videos and interviews for six hours now and I can't tear her away from her laptop and iPod.
Kayla: Wow, sounds like she's caught a serious
case of Glambertitis.
