Here's one I found in my online travels (wish I could take credit for it):

Avian iterative exponential exploit expansion (AIEEE):

This affliction starts with the recitation of a cute bird story by Person "A", followed by a counter-story by Person "B" of their bird's exploit which is even cuter, more heartwarming, or more adventurous. The back-and-forth interplay continues until the birds being described have taken on qualities usually reserved for Greek and Roman deities.
