A coronaphoner is a very modern phenomenon triggered by the heinous virus. An interview by a journalist conducted from afar is termed a "phoner". An interview conducted from any distance, but now via cell phone to maintain social distance, is a coronaphoner.

A word (n.) defining the moment when one is too overtaken by emotion to continue as planned. Usually involving the attempted expression of love or sadness. Always involving tearing up and a choking feeling.

When things turn out very differently than anybody could have foreseen, the event featured an oppo-plot. When life throws you a major curveball, you experience an oppo-plot. When the forces of Nature turn to reveal that things are just not as they seem, you live through an oppo-plot.
I filed my tax return, fully expecting to be thrown in jail for tax evasion. Then I received a letter from the IRS, they reviewed and adjusted my return, and ...talk about your oppo-plot...got a check for $1,355!

Reverting to sworn off practice of spending too much time on smart phone, usually while hiding under the sheets, or some other
"invisible" place.
After my girlfriend came back from a quick trip to the store " to buy some Tareyton's", I realized that she had actually been e-slidin', because her eyes were all glazed over, her thumbs were shaking, and she was mumbling something about "one-click".

A member of a political party who blindly supports a member of that same political party, despite clear and overwhelming evidence that said politician is simply wrong for the job.
Did you see the result of that latest poll about our elected buffoon?
Dude, yes... those Reblindicans just can't see that their guy is a stinkin' idiot.
