    Any links? I just googled and got stuff on dinosaurs and mice. It sounds like a bad case of the squirts more than a mental illness.

    I heard this definition being used on the radio today. It may have been Moncrieff on Newstalk 106.

    Like 99.999999% of 'mental disorders' in the US it is just a bogus term designed to help people feel special and subsequently feel the need to pay an expensive specialist a lot of money for therapy. They don't have the terrible twos over there, they have ADHD. They don't have feeling low once in a while, they have clinical depression. Not that I'm trivialising these real disorders but the US has this preoccupation with mental health that is not good for mental health. They see every idiosyncratic action as a cause for concern. BAH! Ranty rant rant rant.

    Maybe they can link a microphone to the airbag.....
    When it hears the driver shouting, the airbag goes off to stop them from getting out of the car and beating the sh1te out of the other driver...

    Sounds ridiculous. Love the idea of the microphone though, very amusing....anyone remember those road rage avenger car toys argos used to have? It used to roar random phrases at the driver like "Get the fcuk off the road ya jackass" etc etc....:D

    South Park had a good take on these made up diseases.


    'Its a disease, I'm sick. Very, very sick'
    'No you're not. You just drink too much.

    more fooking pandering to perpetrators of violence as "victims" themselves. Utter scutter. Loosing your temper and acting on it isnt a disease. this kind of sh1te causes me to nearly lose my temper, sorry suffer a bout of infrequent explosive disease

    Isn't "infrequent explosive diarrhea" ??

    You wouldn't want that in a car either.

    you rack a disaprin.

    americans are great at making up names for things.
    remember "homicide bombers"? their alternative name for suicide bombers.
    what they failed to see was that every bomb is a potentially homicidal one, regardless of who sets it off.
