Clockman 

A piece of missing media you consumed when you were very young, was extremely memorable and has left a lasting impression on you, but you cannot find it now no matter how much googling and asking people you do. You've tried for literally years and years, if not decades, to find this media, but you've not been able to find it at all.

The name of this phenomenon is inspired from one of the most high-profile searches for lost media throughout many years in the 2010s, when a man on a forum posted that for 28 years, he'd been looking for a short film, the "Clockman", he'd seen when he was 4 that he found to be extremely scary but had never been able to find or see again since. The search for the Clockman film gained traction and soon had hundreds, if not thousands, searching for it. After many years of searching and hundreds of dead leads, the film was finally found in late 2017.
"This story of two kids going really far underground I read when I was 5... I've never forgotten it, I've been looking for it for 20 years, I've never found it. It's my Clockman.

A small frog-shaped chocolate bar introduced to the United Kingdom in the 1990s.

This chocolate bar famously taught kids everything they need to know about inflation. Anyone born before 2000 may just about recall Freddos always cost 10p. The price was displayed brightly in big letters on the package. You'd always see them in the sweet section of any shop and try and find a loose 10p in your pocket to get your hands on 15 grams of chocolate.

But then all of a sudden, that big bold "10p" suddenly displayed "12p". And then it was 15p. Then 17p. Then 20p. 25p! 30p! Every time that big bold number increased, a part of your soul died and there was mass hysteria all over the internet.

What gives?! Has the chocolate mine started to run out of chocolate? Have aliens come to Earth and started stealing all the Freddos and they're in short supply?

Nope, you were just experiencing inflation. Through a tiny chocolate bar.
Kid: Daddy what does inflation mean?
Dad: You know how Freddo bars used to be 10p, then they went up to 12p, then 15p, then 17p, then 20p, then 25p, then 30p?
Kid: Ah I get it now.

AstraZeneca-itis 

The short-lived bout of flu-like side effects some people get shortly after having the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

Symptoms include a fever (of up to 102 degrees), feeling ill, chills, muscle aches, headaches... basically all the flu symptoms. In addition, you may get a raised lump at the jab site. Thankfully, they typically resolve fully within 48 hours, and are a sign your immune system is responding to the vaccine.
"Getting actual COVID-19 is a lot worse than AstraZeneca-itis, so do not skip out on the jab if you're offered it!"

Lostwave August 2019 

A heavily-distorted unknown song, thought to originate from the 90s, that is supposedly recorded from a heavily damaged cassette tape. The origins are totally unknown, and are possibly just a recording of a local band jamming. The sound is far too distorted to make out any lyrics. The highly distorted sound, frequent glitches and mystery around the song make listening to the recording an incredibly creepy and unpleasant experience.
The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet: I am the most mysterious song on the Internet!
Lostwave August 2019: Am I a joke to you?

Guard Dog Relationship 

It has nothing to do with Dogging, the sex act. It is a form of toxic relationship where one person in the relationship expects the other to fight all their battles for them, and basically be their guard dog. Partners should stick up for each other, but this is way overboard. The individual expects their "guard dog" to jump into the middle of every argument, fight and grievance they have, because they are completely unable to fight their own battles. They want you to always be their go-between essentially. Should the "guard dog" refuse, they will be guilt-tripped to all hell about how they don't really love them. They will probably also use the "After ALL I do for you... could you not just do that ONE thing for me?" line.

And even if the guard dog DOES try their best to get into the middle of a fight that has NOTHING to do with them, and try to resolve it, it will never be enough. The guard dog will probably hear "is that all? You didn't help me at ALL! You really let me down!"

If someone makes you their guard dog on a regular basis, break up with them immediately.
Robert: (Sarcastically) Amy your hair is ugly.
Amy: BEN!!! Are you just going to let Robert sit there and say my hair is ugly? SAY SOMETHING TO ROBERT!!!
Ben: He was just joking, man. He clearly said it in a jokey way.
Amy: You NEVER stick up for me, I guess you don't love me enough. After I got you that lovely ring, too!
Ben: Sigh... Robert, it's not nice to tell people their hair is ugly, even as a joke.
Amy: IS THAT ALL?! YOU SAID IT TO HIM SO SOFTLY!! HE LITERALLY INSULTED MY HAIR THAT I SPENT AN HOUR ON AND I'M REALLY SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT!! Do you view me as just not worth the effort or something?! Do I not deserve a bit of sticking up for?!
Ben: Robert, don't make offensive jokes about my girlfriend's hair, you twat. It's not funny, she's really self-conscious about it and I won't hang out with you if you insult my girlfriend that way.
Amy: You didn't even bring up the time 2 months ago when he said my clothes didn't match!!!
Robert: Look Ben, we used to be best friends, but now all you've done since you got with Amy is be her guard dog. Enjoy your guard dog relationship, I want no part of it. Bye.

Cunt Barrier 

When you and a mate become close enough that you can gratuitously call each other a cunt as a joke, and neither of you are offended in the slightest.
Me: Sup my favorite cunt in the world!
Friend: Oh hey, how was your day you daft cunt?
Me: It was long you absolute cunt!
Friend: We don't call each other cunts very often, do we you cunt?
Me: Haha we broke the cunt barrier 2 years ago you colossal cunt :)

The year where there is only one criminal offense:

Talking about 2020.
The only rule of 2021, is that we do not speak of 2020.
