koothrapalli Syndrome 

Taken from 'The Big Bang Theory', this syndrome makes an individual make up fictional stories of living hard life in third world countries, in order to garner sympathy and attention.
Howard Wolowitz: Do I get an honorable mention for designing the telescope camera mounting bracket you used?

Rajnesh Koothrappali: Sorry; it's not part of my heart-warming and personal narrative, in which a humble boy from New Delhi overcame poverty and prejudice and journeyed to America to reach for the stars.

Howard Wolowitz: Poverty? Your father's a gynecologist. He drives a Bentley.

Rajnesh Koothrappali: It's a lease!

Perfect example of Koothrapalli syndrome

Named after Rajesh Koothrappali from the big bang theory, pulling a Koothrappali means using alcohol as a crutch for social awkwardness. Frequently used by your stereotypical nerd at parties.
Person A: damn, look at dave hitting up that girl, how the hell is he doing that? He can barely even talk to his teacher!
Person B:Dude, he’s pulling a koothrappali, saw him sneaking a thermos before the party.
Person A:yeah, that explains it.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
