The mind game some advertisers play with you when you arrive at a website and the screen greys out, except for the box in the middle. It asks you to choose something like getting a newsletter, mortgage quote, or weight loss program. The grey box disables you from escaping from the page. The "Escape" key does not work, and there is no "x" button to quit the page.
If you say "Yes," you will be taken to whatever the advertiser wants.
But the "No" option is where you get greyboxed. It says something unpleasant, disturbing, and ridiculous. You have a sense that you don't want to click on the "No" because it feels wrong somehow. For example, it might say "No, I don't want to eat healthier," "No, I don't want to lose weight," or "No, I don't want to save money."
This creates a split inside of your mind. You do not want to click on the statement because you don't believe that statement, but clicking the "No" phrase is the only way out. Clicking the "No" phrase feels kind of like thinking it, but to answer "Yes" would be giving in to the advertiser and getting unnecessarily drawn away from what you were looking for in the first place.

Get the brovfefemug. Combination of "selfie" and "breath," describing the act of smelling your own breath by cupping your hand in front of your mouth while simultaneously exhaling and inhaling slowly. It is similar to a "selfie" because you are taking a snapshot of your self; in this case, your breath.
I woke up and took a breathie of my morning breath. Result? Disgusting: generally rude, with notes of horse manure.

Get the breathiemug. A revolting experience described as follows.
A male goes into a public bathroom to drop a deuce. Unknowingly, the bowl is filled to the brim with a prior dude's diluted s&*t plus bowl water. The bowl is clogged, but since no water has spilled out onto the floor, the male is unaware of any problem.
So, said male unbuckles his pants, turns around, and -- with blessed innocence -- sits his ass down on the toilet seat, and in doing so, dunks his unsuspecting balls into the slightly chilly tea of diluted fecal matter.
This brother has just gone dunkin' bronuts.
Put another way, you're kind of an eskimo brother with another brother in a way that is unfathomable.

Get the dunkin' bronutsmug. Combination of "empty nest syndrome" and "catbox," describing the empty feeling when, for whatever reason, you no longer have a cat (and the accompanying turds in the catbox) to take care of.

Get the empty catbox syndromemug. Legal doctrine describing the absolute wrongness of setting your Starbucks down on the urinal while you drain the weasel. By your act, the coffee is forever unclean, and any attempt to rationalize it that it was just the bottom of the coffee cup that touched the urinal is futile. Osmosis by grossness occurs, and you are basically drinking other dudes' urine.
