Assburgers Syndrome- Ignorance is but a blessing comes to mind whenever I look at google search trends that netizens are constantly looking for Assburgers Syndrome instead of looking for Asperger Syndrome.

Asperger Syndrome was the disease that came into our already saturated minds with such coinage as is happened in the case of assburgers syndrome. The NBC TV drama ‘Parenthood’ was the cause as in the show a couple was shown having a son with Asperger Syndrome. Before completely digesting it netizens started searching for what was not in the air but what can we do with our listening comprehensions as Ass and Burger are so familiar to our ears that we are prone to listen Asperger Syndrome as Assburgers Syndrome.

Asperger Syndrome is a disorder of widespread abnormalities in social interactions and communications. The syndrome is also characterized with abnormally restricted interests and repetitive behavior.

Asperger Syndrome was named after Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who described his children patients with lack of non verbal communication skills and who display a limited empathy for their elders and show clumsiness in their physical appearance.

‘Curiosity is the mother of invention’ and today we the netizens have proved the universality of this famous saying by coining such a word that may now be added in the urban dictionaries and there may be someone able to give this word a definition and then all will be history and we will come across another word whose stupid ness we least know or bother about.

We have come across so many such words that we have had left traditional language far behind, if you do not agree with me, take a look at the search trends at the occasion of famous Tiger Woods apology that contained word, ‘Transgression’ and everybody was looking for the definition of the word despite the fact that their peers know well that transgression is somewhat respectable word to describe our extra marital relations.
