Walrusism™ is an internet disease characterized by the tendency to speak or write in hints, suggestions and half-truths, in a manner that slowly reveals over time what might otherwise be stated in a sentence or two.

The term was coined by BelowTheCrowd who noted in a post on CH.C that the disease apparently afflicts Casey Serin as well as all major Caseymoochers™. BTC specifically called out Nigel, Mark Villasenor, Duane LeGate, and Rob Dawg as being afflicted with Walrusism™.

The name of this disease is derived from Rob's nickname and from the fact that he was the first and arguably most masterful practitioner of the symptomatic manner of communication. Rob often peppered his blog posts at Exurbannation with obscure photo combinations designed to convey hidden meaning that often didn't really exist. He then milked the discussion of these hints for hundreds of blog posts over the course of several days or weeks. Rob's "secret," when one existed at all, usually could have been conveyed with a single simple statement.
