Lifeitis

A description of a person who is unsatsified with their current situation in life and eager for a change. Closely related to the concept of senioritis that often inflicts students close to the end of their academic careers, either at the high school or college level. It is not a nuerosis or a sign of depression, just of someone ready for a change.

I need a change to snap out of this lifeitis.

likeitis 

Likeitis is a modern speech affliction where the speaker unknowingly overuses the word 'like' to fill pauses or punctuate sentences when speaking. It uniquely appears in speech and not in written format (unless satirical). Modern "like" usage stems from what's known as "Valleyspeak," an American sociolect that began in the 1970s in California's San Fernando Valley. Frank Zappa parodied it with his daughter Moon Unit in the 1982 song Valley Girl, incidentally Zappa's only American top 40 hit.

The Likeitis stricken individual in most cases has temporarily lost the ability to hear themselves say 'like' and their brain only recognizes 'like' as a silent pause. The is especially apparent when two individuals with Likeitis are speaking with one another; neither can hear the other say "like" and the brain simply registers it as a pause in speech that gives rhythm to the sentence. Likeitis is highly contagious and requires mindful awareness to eradicate. At the present time there is no current medical cure. Direct social intervention from genuinely concerned individuals remains the best recommended course of treatment.

Like, I’ve been listening to Slate podcasts for like, several years now, but there’s like one language peeve that's on like, every podcast, and that's when the speaker, like, has Likeitis and says "like" around 3 times per sentence, and it's like, so annoying. Like, they're really intelligent but like, do they have to say like, "like" so much? Like, I don't like know.

Liftitis 

A catch-all diagnosis gym rats use to describe their injuries. Liftitis includes anything from tendonitis, to torn muscles, to broken bones.

Joe: Hey, I'm hitting up the gym tonight around seven, you coming?

Brian: I would, man, but I got liftitis bad in my shoulder. Gonna have to chill for a couple weeks.

Joe: Why don't you go to a doctor, man?

Brian: Why waste the money? All he's gonna tell me to do is ice it and stop lifting. Everyone knows that's how you treat liftitis.
