    Somebody somewhere is going to have to write a novel that later gets made into a movie starring Ricky Gervais about this. If you don't do it soon I will.

    Both the 'condition' and the word exist because Gary Larson wished to satirise the boom in increasingly dubious afflictions that people can be said to suffer from.

    The thread title could say a lot more.

    Must be a joke. Surely it's just a possible symptom of a more mainstream mental disorder,which involves paranoid delusions ect.

    Never heard the word before.
    This would be hilarious if it was real-(obviously not for the sufferer though!)

    Ooh err, missus/mister, etc.
    Unless you actually are referring to the musical instrument; in which case, a well played flute is certainly nothing to be sniffed at.
    Oh wait...that sounds positively filthy.

    I've read about this a couple of times and I still don't get it.
