someone who always expects the worst and most selfish motives out of everyone and everything. Otherwise known as experienced.
1. These charity adverts are a great way to fleece you for all your money. Those dudes living in mud was probably 50 years ago. They have schools now. And a sewerage treatment place.

2. Disneyland is great but I'm not waiting 2 hours to see ''sleeping beauty''. She's either made of plastic or some lazy cow who's paid to sleep in all day. Besides, one floor is hardly impressive for a castle.

The above are cynical examples.

Cynical Asshole Syndrome (CAS) 

Cynical Asshole Syndrome is a condition that makes the majority of things in everyday life seem shit and meaningless.

CAS usually develops as a person gets older but can occur from as early as birth.

It is believed to be linked to the following:

Popular Culture
Fucking Awful Hollywood Movies
Advertising
TV Shows such as X-Factor, I'm a Celebrity, Big Brother and Jersey/Geordie Shore
Paris Hilton
Mcdonalds
Insecurity
TV Soap Operas
Luck
Justin Bieber
Having your heart stamped on by an ex-partner

PTD (Post Travel Depression)
Having shitty parents
Trauma/Stress
Rebecca Black

CAS is infectious and can spread to other people. Infection becomes more likely to those that spend alot of time with a current CAS sufferer.

In extreme cases CAS can develop into Gothic Syndrome

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
