Get the tragedy porn aficionado mug.Not a real disease able to be diagnosed, DAS (Delusional Aficionado Syndrome) is a sophisticated medical slang term used to describe the state of mind of wanting to only speak well about something or someone a person is suddenly or has been obsessed with for a long time.
For example, in the case of a musician, the aficionado might hear one song he becomes entirely enamored with it and slips into a state of thinking that this artist is the best to have ever existed. The aficionado will then deal with this state of new found love by purchasing all the albums by the artist and recommending them to everyone he knows. In its highest severity, the afflicted aficionado will constantly talk about the artist and/or song even to the point of trespassing into other people’s conversations in order to spread the word about the music. The aficionado will become enraged (rarely to the point of violence) if he hears someone else say anything negative about his idol. If any negative telecasts enter the television/radio airwaves or the internet concerning the musician (especially his death), the aficionado will enter a massive state of denial.
The aficionado may or may not be aware of his DAS. It depends on the severity of the delusional behavior.

Somebody who does not completely lord it over all he surveys at the workplace or at a social gathering, but who would like to, he being a sort of “straw-boss” of officious ceremonies or, if not that exactly, something quite close to being so.
I do believe that you’re a bit of an officionardo. I’ve met your kind before, especially in the local Borough Council where you like to stamp every form in sight with a big red stamp and then shove it in the files somewhere, never to be see again.
