Flattering Syndrome

When a person tends to exaggerate qualities of themselves to a degree that they become extremely delusional-and-at often times believe everything they’re saying is factual. Most people with this syndrome can actually show signs of schizophrenia and do a lot of “flattery self talk” to the point of losing grip on reality

I overhead Jojo one day talking at 3:00 AM in the morning as if someone was there. His conversation wasn’t actually off, but rather a bit self absorbed and one sided. I think he suffers from Flattering Syndrome.

Flintering 

Drinking excessively, especially during the week, and staying out until last call. Usually needs to happen more than one consecutive night in order to really count as Flintering, but getting completely blitzed can still qualify. Originates in Ireland.

"Darrach, why do you look so tired? You have a big proposal today!" "Man, I've been Flintering all week. I'm WRECKED!"
