Sneak's Slip 'N Slang - Tafe-Syndrome


Origin:  Geek Speak The saying comes from Enmore Tafe in Sydney where many design students think that upon graduation they will just walk into web design jobs

Definition:   Those at a publicly funded tertiary education facility, deluded into thinking that they will be set up when they finish. 
2. A person whose expectations are far in excess of the reality of her situation.
NB not used as an insult, more in the way of pity for the unwitting.

Example: The way those guys are talking--its tafe-syndrome for sure
