A fork of Rural Dictionary
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!"
