Definder - what does the word mean?

What is shiny new toy?

The feeling you get in a long term relationship when you develop a crush on someone else for a short period of time.

I love James and i'd never leave him, but i think i have a slight crush on Will! Ugh i must have shiny new toy syndrome, it'll pass in a week!

Shiny new toy - what is it?

The new kid at school who gets all the attention because the kids all want to know what they're like and whether or not they'll be friends with him/her. Eventually, the "shiny new toy" factor wears off in about a week or two and the kid just becomes a normal student.

Kid #1: Hey, new kid! High five!
Kid #2: High five? Pshh, that's lame. Hey new kid, do I get a hug?
Kid #3: Me too! I want a hug first!
Kid #2: Back off, I saw the kid first!
Teacher: Kids, she is not a shiny new toy! Cut it out!
New kid: Umm...I think I'll just be going to homeroom now...
