Petermanthesia 

A medical condition in which one's right arm only falls asleep while at work. San Diego doctors coined the term on a Sunday afternoon, November 19 2017 to be exact. Buffalo Bills QB Nathan Peterman made his debut against the San Diego Chargers by throwing 5 interceptions in the first half. Due to the fact that witnesses saw Peterman texting with his right hand before the game, medical experts concluded that his right arm only falls sleep while at work.

Experts have confirmed that the first documented case of Petermanthesia may actually have occurred 18 days prior, on Nov 1 when Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish surrendered 5 runs in the first 2 innings of a World Series game 7. Darvish earns $25 million a year to throw a ball but no amount of money can overcome a bout with Petermanthesia.
Bob: Sup Richard, how's the new job delivering pizzas?

Richard: Terrible. Every time I clock in for work, my right arm falls asleep. Makes driving near impossible and Im fumbling boxes of pizza left and right.

Bob: Umm, what?
Richard: Yeah man, doctors say I have Petermanthesia. Luckily my arm is totally fine when I'm not at work.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
