evacuation fatigue

The physical and psychological weariness that comes from multiple emergency evacuations, such as from six hurricanes hitting the gulf coast in a single season.

“You need to get yourselves up here now!”
“Thank you, but we’re not even in the hurricane’s path anymore, and we have too much evacuation fatigue to spend sixteen hours behind the wheel.”

Oompahstor

Someone who poses as a tuba player, but has no idea how to play the instrument.

“Did you see that brass band? They must have had twenty sousaphone players!”

“It’s just for show. Nearly half of them are oompahstors.”

outlaude

Homophone of “outlawed.” That awkward moment in a classical concert when you're the only one in the room refusing to clap between movements.

“Why didn’t you clap after that beautiful piece? That was rude!”
“You’re supposed to wait until the end of the entire symphony to clap. It’s distracting between movements , and I don’t care if it’s outlaude.”

Geddy-whipped

When guy with no previous exposure to Rush fandom is dragged into it by his wife or girlfriend.

“Did you notice he was wearing a 2112 t-shirt at rehearsal?”

“But he’s a jazz guy! He must really be Geddy-whipped.”

erevnope

To deliberately seek out a stranger’s social media profile for the sole intention of blocking that person as a preventative measure. Portmanteau of the Greek “erevnó” for investigate and “nope.”

Did you see that twatwaffle’s racist rant on Tommy’s page? I had to erevnope him before he could troll me next.

Parannoya

The profound irritation that comes from reading outrageous conspiracy theories.

I could barely stomach reading that post about how vaccines cause the earth to flatten, and now I’m just wound up with parannoya.
