Kickstarter Syndrome 

When you are promised something amazing, and encourage/work/pay to make it happen, but are really numb to the probability that it's inevitably going to be a let down, or not come to fruition at all.
Kickstarter Syndrome defined:

Person A: Did you see the new Kickstarter for Megamanolamarama?
Person B: Yea! I'm already a $100 tier backer!
Person A: Me too! AWESOME!

- Scenario A -
Release day: Person A & B: This game... sucks! Why did we back it again?

-Scenario B-
Person A as an old man: Remember when we gave money to some people online to make something cool we could experience?

Person B as an old man: Yea we were stupid back then weren't we?

A project could be anything, like a game, product, album, film, etc. If you pledge enough money, you can get rewards given to you by the maker of the project. Generally, it's a website that allows people to make their projects with money from the Internet.

Lesbian kickstart

The occurrence when two females who glance at each other bond instantly with some underlying sexual expectations.
Two females who just met are scanning each others bodys with a smile on their faces and then gives a subtle dirty look.
Random present guy: "What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a classic lesbian kickstart."
