Virus Dodging 

A desirable behaviour. Going out of your way to avoid being close to people. In the olden days (prior to the COVID19-era), it would have been seen as rude to cross the street to avoid being close to a person. There was a risk that you’d be perceived as a snob, or as a racist, or intolerant in some way of the person you were avoiding. However, in the COVID19-era and beyond, it is the best thing you can do! And it’s a bonus that no one can accuse you of being rude.

I was on my morning walk to keep me sane during the “self-isolation” period when I saw Chatty Cathy walking towards me. I crossed the street. At first, she looked a bit sad but then I hollered “it’s not you, it’s just that I’m virus dodging!”

Sucker Ducking and Dummy Dodging 

Verb

An activity involving avoiding people and excluding those from your group or circle who bring bad vibes.

Instead of acting out of hate, Chet Hanks wisely suggests that all people: “Just stay suck-a-duckin and dummy-dodgin.”

Or “Sucker Ducking and Dummy Dodging.”

Dodging 

When you are not interested in someone and dont answer their calls or texts.

Damon: Who you Dodging?
Jeremy: This girl Ana. she could be ,uh, persistent.
Damon: Is she hot?
Jeremy: Yeah, Yeah, but she can be wierd.
Damon: Hot trumps wierd, Trust me.

This example is in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 13 "Children of the Damned".

Convo Dodging 

Appearing offline/away on MSN/Facebook so that when someone that you want to avoid sends you a message trying to strike up a conversation, you can act like you're not there. Many people wait until that someone is offline as well before answering. That way, that person gets a response (so they can't say you ignored them) and you don't have to actually talk to them.

Ellen: It says Tom's away, but his iTunes PM is still changing. He's sooooo convo dodging me...

dodging a bullet 

Something that your future self will thank you for. Also: having successfully avoided a sticky situation.

When offering me the job, Criss Angel cut my salary request in half. Then he told me that he was doing ME a favor because working with him meant working with a celebrity and his "Magic Kids". Bahahahahah! Saying no to that was like dodging a bullet!

Dinger Dodging 

When one goes onto chatroulette or omegle, etc. and attempts to avoid penises, sadly to no avail.

Dude, I went onto Omegle last night and holy fuck, I had to do some serious dinger dodging to avoid the guys jerking off.
