Ganser syndrome is a rare dissociative disorder characterized by nonsensical or wrong answers to questions and other dissociative symptoms such as fugue, amnesia or conversion disorder, often with visual pseudo-hallucinations and a decreased state of consciousness. The syndrome has also been called nonsense syndrome, balderdash syndrome, syndrome of approximate answers, hysterical pseudodementia or prison psychosis. The term prison psychosis is sometimes used because the syndrome occurs most frequently in prison inmates, where it may be seen as an attempt to gain leniency from prison or court officials. Psychological symptoms generally resemble the patient's sense of mental illness rather than any recognized category. The syndrome may occur in persons with other mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depressive disorders, toxic states, paresis, alcohol use disorders and factitious disorders. Ganser syndrome can sometimes be diagnosed as merely malingering, but it is more often defined as dissociative disorder.
“Ganser syndrome is described as a Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) in the DSM-IV, and is not currently listed in the DSM-V. It is a rare and an often overlooked clinical phenomenon. In most cases, it is preceded by extreme stress and followed by amnesia for the period of psychosis. In addition to approximate answers, other symptoms include a clouding of consciousness, somatic conversion disorder symptoms, confusion, stress, loss of personal identity, echolalia, and echopraxia.”

Sometimes it can seem to be more on point, if the individuals involved, are immature, obnoxious, boisterous, or impulsive. Set examples can be seen on World Star Hip Hop, or any other social media websites, where troll-like behavior is rampant and unhinged 24/7. D.A.B.S. can also be seen as a reference to child like demeanors, which may include “He said, She said” debacles and heresy.

Kelly: “Just a bad case of the D.A.B.S. I guess.” Brandon: “That and he’s always wanting to flap his dick suckers, for no apparent reason!”

Get the D.A.B.S.mug. mise en abyme is a term used in Western art history to describe a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence.
In film and literary theory, it refers to the technique of inserting a story within a story. A common sense of the phrase is the visual experience of standing between two mirrors, then seeing as a result an infinite reproduction of one's image. Mise en abyme occurs within a text when there is a reduplication of images or concepts referring to the textual whole. Mise en abyme is a play of signifiers within a text, of sub-texts mirroring each other. This mirroring can get to the point where meaning may be rendered unstable and, in this respect, may be seen as part of the process of deconstruction. In literary criticism, mise en abyme is a type of frame story, in which the core narrative may be used to illuminate some aspect of the framing story. The term is used in deconstruction and deconstructive literary criticism as a paradigm of the intertextual nature of language, that is, of the way language never quite reaches the foundation of reality because it refers in a frame-within-a-frame way, to other language, which refers to other language, and so forth.

My dog Matt was always welcoming people at the front door, in exchange for attending to his acnestis. It’s too bad he was born without any arms or legs, otherwise he’d be scratching his own back just as easily.

Specifically, the term is used for those who repeatedly petition authorities or pursue legal actions based on manifestly unfounded grounds. These applications (usually) include complaints about petty offenses. Querulant behavior is to be distinguished from either the obsessive pursuit of justice regarding major injustices, or the proportionate, reasonable, pursuit of justice regarding minor grievances.
“A man may choose a profession in which he can engage with individuals with related inclination; this is the case of a psychiatrist with paranoid schizoform inclinations, or a lawyer with querulant inclinations and an addiction to litigation.”

In order to set the prank up, one person who knows that everything in a police vehicle is being recorded, will speak loudly of their friends attempt to hide drugs or drug paraphernalia, (even though they really didn’t) within his or her own anal cavity. The prank is completed after the cavity search has taken place.
While Derek and Bobby were being detained in separate police cars, Derek said, “Those dumb pigs will never figure out that Bobby hid that tiny bit of tar heroin up his ass! A few hours later... Bobby: “Why you smiling, Derek?” Derek: “I heard you got a visit from the surprise inspector!” Bobby: “I’m gonna F’n kill you Derek!”
