Shrinkiatrist

The origin of this word is extremely simple and in most ways unique too. Coined for the first time in the early 2013 and also at times in the late 2012; Made by the combination of the words 'Shrink' which basically means a psychiatrist or a psychologist or in much easier terms a therapist in the United States and the other half of the word is a common usage of what explains a person of their profession, much like psych-iatrist.

Tom: I feel so sick with all these emotions and baseless allegations; got no clue as what to do!
Harry: Hey bro, why don't you meet a Shrinkiatrist!? Last time i had some recommendable advice and it worked to a lot greater extent.

Shinyitis

When you feel a compulsion to acquire a new and shiny gadget. Of course you don't need it, you already have lots and lots of gadgets. But you want something new and you want it in your hands now, to turn over and admire and fondle.
The term originated on the vaping forums. Vaping is the (sometimes obsessive) utilisation of electronic cigarettes.

Examples, each and every one a genuine quote from the forums.

1) Just watch out for the "new" illness... shinyitis... early symptoms creep up on you when you see a nice new shiny bit of kit and suddenly paypal appears on your screen, you lose all control of your finger hovering over the mouse button and then spend the following days wondering why the post is so late as you pace up and down. Beware, there is no cure!

2) That looks good! And it's got the same kind of curved tube as the Picollo, which means the Kayfun should sit nicely on it... Aaarrgghhh! Mad shinyitis!

3) Shinyitis is a disease and a constant flow of shiny tube mods is the cure.

4) Ohh, no. Shinyitis, another excuse to buy a Mech mod.

5) Been vaping for 4 weeks and I am having circulation problems in my bank account......oh hang on, that's shinyitis.

6) I just ordered & am waiting for the chrome one, don't know why... like the idea of the dark chrome also... Ahhh, think I caught shinyitis.

7) Then the shinyitis starts kicking in... amazing how much more pleasure it gives you... waiting for the postie to bring your new purchase.

8) God! Shinyitis is creeping up on me. It's hand is on me shoulder......too late!

9) Shinyitis is addictive... it'll cost ya a bloody small fortune... if you catch the dreaded shinyitis.

springitis

The soul-crushing loss of motivation which occurs shortly after spring break. Commonly found in college students returning for the last 2 months of school. Think "senioristis" but on a much more serious scale. Common side effects include a steep increase in overall Netflix binging, a strong desire to go drink, and a sudden lack of preparedness for most upcoming exams.

My springitis has gotten so bad, I watched Netflix for 9 hours yesterday and got nothing done.
