Tiny Heart Syndrome

Noun \ˈtī-nē ˈhärt ˈsin-ˌdrōm also -drəm \

Severe clinical condition in which the affected does not have the resolve to complete a task that has become mildly to moderately challenging. Often seen when one attempts physical activity or a mentally taxing task like texting whole words or adding without a calculator. The only known cures for THS are forced toughening activities (i.e. barefoot 25 mile road marches, playing tag with porcupines, 10 mile runs at a 7 mile/min pace in a minefield, stealing food from a pride of hungry lions, chewing aluminum foil etc.)
“Where is Mike? “

“WTF? We’ve been walking 5 min. We just left the parking lot.”

THS (Tiny Heart Syndrome) 

Often used in the military, especially basic training. Used to describe an individual who suffers from the inability to properly "man the fuck up" and get through a difficult or trying task.
Drill Sergeant - "Alright you little poster boys for abortion, get your gear and get outside right fucking now. And if I hear a single one of you suffering from THS I will personally beat you until your tiny little fucking heart stops."

"Did you see George cry his way out of finishing work today. Said his head hurt to much to continue on. I'm tired of him never finishing a single thing."

"That prick is a chronic case of THS (Tiny Heart Syndrome)."
To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
