Roger Keith Barrett 

As a founder member of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett wrote songs at once wistful, surreal and quintessentially English. Barrett's increasingly erratic mental state led to him leaving the band in 1968. Roger Keith Barrett was born in Cambridge in January 1946.

The son of a well-known pathologist, he acquired the nickname "Syd" during his teens, a reference to Sid Barrett, a local jazz drummer. It was Syd Barrett who christened the new group The Pink Floyd Sound, in homage to two of his own musical heroes, the bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Syd Barrett's solo career was short. His first album, the inconsistent The Madcap Laughs, appeared in January 1970, and its altogether more polished follow-up, Barratt, hit the record shops that November. Songs like Gigolo Aunt, Vegetable Man and Dominoes, showcased on his albums and in live sessions recorded for BBC radio, brought Syd Barrett a cult following. But a lack of popular recognition, combined with the increasing fragility of his health, led Syd Barrett to abandon the music industry altogether and, despite a couple of abortive attempts to re-ignite his career, Barrett remained, for more than 30 years, British rock music's greatest recluse.

He did however, attend Pink Floyd's recording sessions in 1975, ironically sitting in the studio while the band recorded Shine On You Crazy Diamond. As the band gathered at the studio,Syd Barrett was seen bald, with no eyebrows, jumping up and down brushing his teeth. Prior to this event the band had not seen Syd for seven years. Syd did and still does influence a great number of people, and deserves alot of gratitude for that. he passed away July seventh, 2006. he will be dearly missed by those close to him, and fans in general. rest in peace, Mr.Barrett.

Roger Klotz Syndrome 

When you hang out with a friend who is a total douche and invite them to parties even though no one likes them.

(On the cartoon show "Doug", Roger Klotz was a bully and douche, but for some reason he was always invited to their parties and friend group.)

Similar to Cartman on South Park.
"Why do we hang out with that guy?"
"I don't know..."
"It's that Roger Klotz Syndrome."

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
