raging groupon

an obsessive desire to participate in the latest groupon deal
I woke up with a raging groupon this morn - inbox filled with so many exciting deals, what to do?? apple mini speakers? anti-stress facial? love massage neck pillow? ooh the flotation pool treatment looks good, but then so does a Indian head neck & shoulder, or a photoshoot I could justify, somehow. Hey anyone know what the regular price of non invasive ultrasound liposuction is? How do I know $240 is a good deal?

Date Rip

an expensive date that leads nowhere
Leon: hey how did your date go with that girl you met on facebook?

Peter: Holy crap dude, complete date rip!! She gets nailed on 3 mojitos, orders the seafood platter, bitched about all her cheap friends, doesn't even offer to pay when the bill comes, and then when I take her home she blows me a kiss and says 'call me'.

Social Voyeur

someone who enjoys viewing content on facebook, twitter etc without 'liking' or adding anything to the conversation
"Hey Pete, good to see you, I'm loving your status updates and the pics you post"

Pete: "Really now? This is fascinating. You tell me this now that you're bumping into me in the real world, but for some reason you can't click 'like' or add to the conversation. Why do you enjoy & ignore? You're such a social voyeur!"

obspervant

(adj.) The uncanny ability to observe your surroundings with a totally innocent yet undeniably pervy undertone. Whether it’s clocking every gym bro flexing in a tank top, side-eyeing that audaciously short skirt, or mentally cataloging every exposed tattoo in sight, you just have an eye for noticing sexiness wherever you go

Often accompanied by a running internal monologue:
“Is that even legal to wear in public?!”
“OMG, is it me, or is everyone else this obspervant?”
“I wasn’t creeping, I’m just naturally #Obspervant.”

Warning: High levels of #Obspervant behavior may lead to embarrassing slip-ups like audibly gasping at someone’s daring outfit. Proceed with caution and sunglasses.

I just spent at least 10 minutes in voice-prompt hell trying to speak to someone about my traffic fine, only to discover at the end there's an option to press zero to speak to a real person
