Outfit-Anxiety

When you're stressing about what to wear to an event, or even some every day thing.

I've gotten so used to wearing my pandemic-pants, that I had total outfit-anxiety while getting ready for Candi and Ben's wedding. I had it all picked out, ready the night before, then changed my mind shortly before walking out the door and changed the whole thing. What's the point of all the anxiety? As if anyone cares!

Dirty-Dish-Tolerance, aka DDT

Your tolerance for leaving dirty dishes in the sink.

John has a much higher dirty-dish-tolerance, aka DDT, than Jane, so she ends up doing most of the dishes. She wonders if she is just encouraging him to do even less, but oh well, no big deal in the big picture.

Death by Bliss

When you have a habit that is clearly bad for your health, but it gives so much happiness...pure joy and bliss, that you just stick with it anyway.

After a life of struggling through sleepless nights, Jane discovered cognac. Now when she wakes in the night, sipping some cognac makes her tickle, giggle, then fall back into a blissful sleep. She know it's unhealthy in the long term, but it's pure joy every single night. She's willing to accept death by bliss.
