Pandemotions 

All the feels during a pandemic, especially the mixed feels.

My pandemotions were all over the place after I ate a box or dry Cocoa Puffs and got the bright idea to put an age filter on a photo of favorite ex boyfriend who became so cute it made me cry for his precious life and his dog’s life, even though he doesn’t have a dog.

Physical Distancing 

Formerly known as social distancing. The act of connecting, caring, communicating, and socializing with others while keeping space between bodies and following the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for good health during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.

No, dude. I’m not gonna shake your hand, I’m practicing physical distancing. Please take a step back and give me a call later.

The term Physical Distancing was suggested by therapist and author Jennifer Hamady, in an article for Psychology Today on March 19, 2020. The World Health Organization then shifted to using the phrase physical distancing rather than social distancing.

Korona-Kindness 

When you use your last drop of creativity to be otherwise unreasonably kind to someone during the coronvirus/COVID-19 pandemic.

Hank performed a serious act of Korona-Kindness by sewing a face mask for Judy even though she would not stop complaining about her cancelled travel plans. Be like Hank.

Undogumented 

A dog who is not a registered breed. This dog defies class, race, and other limiting social constructs by mingling freely with those who feed him. He is humble, carefree, and living his best life.

People: My what a beautiful good boy. What kind of dog is he?

Dog Owner: He’s undogumented and you should be too.

Raparona 

A spontaneous, short rap (or a line of rap) people who are in quarantine throw down, usually while cooking.

My sister, who can’t cook, is now insisting that her raparona “Don’t frown, it be brown,” is a valid substitute for patience and low heat.

Pandemdick

That Pandemdick ran his hand over a six ft. long bin of potatoes as he walked to the frozen food section.
