Spoonerisms 

Coined from the late great Do-Shua Jick-Sun III, a term that relates to any anecdote or act performed by an individual who continues to pursue or pester an individual. The acts tend to be related to feelings of unrequited love, wherein the individual would exert extreme or obsessive behaviour towards an uninterested in individual.
