A syndrome which causes people to be completely and utterly distracted from their previous train of thought when confronted by something shiny. This shiny object can take a variety of forms but will ultimately be determined by the inherent preferences of the one who suffers from the aforementioned syndrome. The subject will usually exclaim in a high pitch voice "oooh shiny!"
"Hey Jim? Me and a few of the guys are planning to get shitfaced at the bar tonight. You want in?"
"Yeah sure man that sounds grea- *spots object* Ooooh shiny!"
"Right on. I'll tell the guys you're co-Jim? Jim?!....... oh for fucks sake not again."
"Yeah sure man that sounds grea- *spots object* Ooooh shiny!"
