Second Lead Syndrome

Second Lead Syndrome is when a viewer of a romance drama or anime starts falling for the second lead. In some occasions the viewer may also want the second lead to end up with the main lead.

Aeona is talking to her friend Alex,
“I am watching this drama which has this love triangle, and I thought that I would be 100% team Kim Tan but I am starting to realise how good of a guy Young-do is. A very small part of me kinda wants him to be with Eun-sang too...”
Alex then replies,
“Oh Aeona, you have second lead syndrome!”
“What is second lead syndrome?”
“It’s where a viewer starts really liking the second lead and maybe even wanting them to be with the main character”

9 grams of lead

The "final ration from the Soviet State", the 7.62mm bullet from a Tokarev TT-33 or Mosin-Nagant m1895 Revolver. The bullet weighs nine grams, so to be given nine grams of lead from the Soviet State is to be shot by an officer. This phrase was coined by Soviet soldiers in world war II when failing to carry out your duty or any sign of cowardice meant being shot in the head by your officer or commissar.

Also has some use today in Ukrainian Mafia circles, where the 7.62x25mm bullet is still used.

Simonov dropped his rifle in battle, so he was given 9 grams of lead.
Over 12,500 Soviet soldiers were given 9 grams of lead at Stalingrad.

lead singer's disease

The tendency for the lead singer of a rock band to become egotistical and impossible to work.

There are a number of factors that can contribute to the onset of LSD including; a natural tendency in the singer to act like a prima donna and treat other people like shit, the level of fame and fortune the band manages to achieve (whether deserved or not), how quickly the band goes from being dirt poor and unknown to filthy rich and overly famous, and whether or not other members of the band have enough talent to compete with the singer for the public and the media's attention.

LSD is often fatal… …for the band. Once a singer develops LSD there is very little hope of them ever recovering from it.

PLAIN ENGLISH VERSION: Lead singer's disease is what happens when a lead singer lets the success of their band go to their head, starts acting like he or she is god and begins to demand that everything be done their way. If they don't get their way their inflated ego makes them think that they don't need the other band members and the band splits up.

Who do you think is a worse case of lead singer's disease, Axl Rose or David Lee Roth?

pump full of lead

To overkill someone with a gun. To shoot way more than the required amount to kill.

I pumped him full of lead for not paying up.
