WatcherMark's definitions
A word used to describe when someone sets a standard/limit on what someone must do to call themselves a 'true fan' of something/someone.
Joe: So what TV shows do you like?
Erin: Well, I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who. I also...
Joe: Doctor Who? I LOVE that show. When did you start watching.
Erin: Back in 2005 when the show was restarted.
Joe: Ah, you see, I was watching the classic series long before then. You can't really call yourself a true fan.
Erin: But I have a ton of the merchandise, and I've met David Tennant...
Joe: Oh, you're a fan definitely but not a proper fan. We've been there since long before the BBC revived the show.
Ted: Dude, stop gatekeeping the show. A fan is a fan. You don't need to set a standard.
Erin: Well, I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who. I also...

Get the Gatekeepingmug. A term used to describe when a person suddenly realises what a mistake probably making by asking "What are you doing?" to themselves as if they'd just walked in to witness themselves acting this way.
Tim: I just had a moment of clarity, you know, I woke up. It's like... you know when you have an orgasm on your own? You know, you're sort of lying on the sofa watching some porn movie you bought on a drunken lonely night in Soho, and you're lying there and everything's going really great, you're getting totally turned on by these absurdly graphic images, everything seems so right, and suddenly - phht! Bingo! You wake up. And you're lying there sweating, desperately looking for the tissue which you know is still in your pocket, and the remote control which is somewhere on the floor, and it's like walking in on yourself, you know? It's just like "What're you doing?" That's how I felt tonight feeling my heart miss a beat everytime the door opened. "What the fuck are you doing?"

Get the Walking in on yourselfmug. When, after putting up a brave front towards others, a person will end up crying while taking a shower (since no-one will be able to hear them).
Jade: I know it's been a difficult day for everyone but we've got through it. Now I'm off for a shower.
Sylvia: Going for a Shower Cry?
Jade: Pretty much.
Sylvia: Going for a Shower Cry?
Jade: Pretty much.

Get the Shower Crymug. When a woman takes two pregnancy tests with one coming up positive and the other negative. Until the woman can visit the doctor, she's both pregnant and not pregnant at the same time creating the comparison with Schrodinger’s Cat.
Kirsty: Great, two pregnancy tests with different results. I have Schrodinger’s Pregnancy here, baby and no baby at the same time.

Get the Schrodinger’s Pregnancymug. A high-risk seduction technique where, on a night out, a person gets themselves invited back to their date's home and quickly strips naked and waits for said date to re-enter in the hope that s/he will either be amused, aroused or sympathetic enough to agree to sleep with the person.
Obviously this technique can backfire spectacularly, and may end with a person being quickly ejected (probably sans clothing). It's suggested that The Naked Man only be used if the date is going badly and there's nothing to lose. Supposedly works two out of three times, but actual results may vary.

Jen: How did your date with Bill go?
Katie: Awful. The movie sucked, the meal was cold and afterwards he said he needed to come to mine for a water and when I left the room to fetch a glass he pulled the Naked Man on me!
Jen: Did you kick him out?
Katie: I should have, but he's not bad looking so I ended up taking him to bed. I mean, it's not like we'll ever see him again anyway.

Get the The Naked Manmug. A phenomenon that occurred over the majority of 2020 where people have grown beards during their time in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic (either because they wanted to try a new look, couldn't be bothered to shave or a combination of the two).

Get the lockdown beardmug. The collective name for a group of males who are known to respond extremely negatively to any media which depicts females (be they real or fictional) in any kind of authoritarian role, and will make their utter disgust known to everyone regardless of if they care or not. Their current habits include making angry YouTube videos on how Rey has destroyed Star Wars, insisting that GamerGate was about ethics in journalism and masturbating to a clip of Thanos punching Captain Marvel.
Strangely, they seem to think they're the good guys.
