Horror-giggle

The tendency to continue laughing in the face of the destruction of democracy and life we know and love.
As we watch Trump destroy democracy, facts, the climate, education, etc, we should be cowering in fear or up in arms, instead we can't resist jokes and horror-giggles at his clownish antics, despite the real danger to all.

Ear-Hug

When you're away from your sweetie and just need a hug, sometimes just the sound of their voice on the phone in your ear feels like an ear-hug.
Their long distance relationship was tough sometimes, and Jane needed lots of ear-hugs, even if the calls were only a few minutes. John was surprised at how much he needed them, too.

Giraldi

Doing a Giraldi:
When two work-a-holics can't get work done because they're in love and can't stop talking, can't stop smiling, can't stop laughing, but one of them can't/won't admit, can't or won't say it out loud.
John knew he was the luckiest guy on earth, but he won't just say what he feels because he's stuck in a giraldi...doing the giraldi big time!

Hm.... maybe he's holding it back for Valentine's Day.

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.

Baditude

He always assumed the worst about everyone and everything. How awful it must be for him to live with the baditude.

Thinkless

Any task that requires no thought so you can talk on the phone at the same time while you’re doing it.

Not to be confused with 'thoughtless' which has negative connotations. Thinkless is extremely useful.
Jane's ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is pretty bad, so it helps her listen on the phone when she occupies herself with thinkless tasks. It's multitasking with benefits. She's often cleaning, so the more she talks, the cleaner her apartment. And the rest of the time it's graphics, so she gets work done at the same time. Yeah- a double win!

Covid-Quiet

When places that should be packed with people are seemly peaceful but very uncomfortably quiet.
The covid-quiet, peaceful streets here in the heart of New York city are a bit upsetting, and depressing. This is Columbus Circle - we need our tourists, shoppers, locals, businesses, gawkers, buskers, artists, and everyone making noise and a big, fun mess!
