Stockholm Syndrome 

You might know it as the popular song by One Direction but it is a real syndrome.
Stockholm syndrome is a syndrome that is gained during being kidnapped. You begin to gain positive feelings for that person usually of the opposite sex. The main reason for obtaining Stockholm Syndrome is the kidnapper telling the captor that they will no kill them or if they feed them on a regular basis.

The captor begins to feel grateful and think of them as a good person or even start to gain feelings for their kidnapper not wanting to be rescued.

When they are rescued they talk about their captor as good or even loving person.
Belle from 'Beauty and The Beast' is said to have Stockholm Syndrome.

person 1, "Look at that girl on the TV, she just got rescued from that awful man."
person 2, "Whats's she saying?"
person 1, "That he was a great person. But he kidnapped her!"

This occurs when you cant let go of a certain stock. Whether it soars to the moon or sinks to hell, a person with Stockhold Syndrome will never sell their shares.

Paperhanded Hedgefunds: Fuck! We need a bailout! We just lost billions to a bunch of apes with suffering from Stockhold Syndrome!

Cost to the State further reduced by the confirmed presence of Legionella. All being well the same ought to reduce (in the most permanent way) those suffering with Bobby Stockholm Syndrome by c. 10%.

Home Secretary: ‘Simple! Unlike that woke nonsense “Stockholm Syndrome”, Bibby Stockholm Syndrome has a 10% chance of resulting in the genuine death of the captive!’

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
