Universal donor
In the proofreading business, a document that is full of typographical errors, aka, “typos.” The expression is a play on the concept of the so-called universal blood donor: type O being the blood type that can be donated and transfused to anyone regardless of their blood type, a “universal donor” document is … chock full of Type Os.

last responder
An obstetrician, midwife, doula, neonatal nurse or pediatrician -- specifically, during the period beginning in January 2021, nine months after the COVID-19 lockdown began, and lasting the same length of time as the lockdown did (so called because of the baby boomlet surely resulting from all those fertile individuals who found themselves at home together for weeks on ends with time on their hands, if you get my meaning).
OMG, I can't believe the epic last responder shifts my obstetrician wife is pulling so far in 2021 -- all those @#$%! millennials couldn't just binge-watch and keep their hands to themselves for a couple of months?

Polarious
Adjective describing hyperbolic political speech that is so over-the-top polarizing as to be laughable, indeed hilarious.
Eric: Do you remember when Hillary Clinton called Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables"?
Tim: Yeah, or when Trump called Rand Paul "a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain"?
Eric and Tim: Yeah, polarious!
Tim: Yeah, or when Trump called Rand Paul "a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain"?
Eric and Tim: Yeah, polarious!
iphone sushi
The article produced when one inserts one's water-soaked iPhone into a box of white rice, desperately trying to resuscitate it by having the rice draw out the moisture.
"Dude, sorry I didn't text you -- I've got iPhone sushi here thanks to my wife washing my trou without checking the pockets."

Don't leave horsepower in the showroom
A metaphorical rule to live by: don't make the mistake of choosing the cheaper option to save a buck in the short run, when you'll curse yourself later for not getting the better-grade product/service in the long run.
Eric: "What was I thinking buying that Porsche with the V-4 instead of the V-6 -- it handled like a Formula 1 car but is a total slug in a straight line!"
Tim: "Dude, you broke rule number 1 -- don't leave horsepower in the showroom."
And so --
Maddie: "This well Margarita sucks -- why didn't I get the Cadillac for two bucks more?"
Amy: "Exactly. Don't leave horsepower in the showroom, sweetie."

iNert
The state of being so engrossed in one's device (iPhone, iPad or equivalent) that one remains oblivious to all surrounding activity and communication and to the social norms that once governed them. Accordingly, the Law of iNertia states that a person engaged with his or her device will remain so engaged, regardless of any forces acting upon them to achieve a change of state. (The Law of iNertia thus operates contrary to the Law of Inertia, according to which a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external non zero force.)
