Icarly-Syndrome 

When a girl (or man/non-binary) has a person simping for them, only to reject them for a period of time and then get upset when their ego booster wants to get into a relationship with someone else who isn't them (despite them showing disinterest in the first place). This is behavior the protagonist of Icarly showcased towards a male character.
"Hailey's upset I wanna date Cassandra even though she's been rejecting me for the past month or so."
"She has Icarly-Syndrome. Don't worry about it."
n.

1. Greek Mythology. The son of Daedalus who, in escaping from Crete on artificial wings made for him by his father, flew so close to the sun that the wax with which his wings were fastened melted, and he fell into the Aegean Sea.
2. An asteroid with an eccentric orbit approaching within 30 million kilometers (19 million miles) of the sun.
"like Icarus we rise and like Icarus we fall".

Icarus legacy 

A tradition of self-destruction using the Greek myth of Icarus who flew too close to the Sun to characterize it.
I grew up with a powerful Icarus legacy that I’ve managed to somehow counteract with a wildly serious determination.

One who continues to purchase items such as the ipod, and will be purchasing future items such as the iphone because they are mindless sheep. Instead of actually doing research on said items they will wander to the nearest best buy and fork out 400 dollars for an outdated ipod because they don't realize there are other options out there. The itard is so ignorant, that they will ask you if you have an ipod rather than asking if you have an mp3 player. Continuing this trend eventually itard's will believe that music spawns from ipods and owning anything else will be a strange and frightening experience for them.
Apple could bring back 8 tracks and these morons would still buy it.
itard: "Dude, what kind of ipod is that?"
Person with a brain: "It's not an ipod, its a zen, now get away from me you fucking heathen".

itard: "Dude, i can't wait for the iphone. Finally i can play music on my phone!".
Person 2 with a brain: "Yeah, phones have been doing that for about 3 years now. Now quit drooling and get back to making my fries".
