meat loafers 

What a devout vegan sees when she spots your leather shoes.
She had fallen for his whole 'I'm so kind to animals' thing. On their first date, happily sharing Impossible Burgers with him, she dropped her fork. At floor level, she saw his feet. "Hypocrite!" she screamed. Are those vegan leather? No! You are wearing meat loafers!" She grabbed her phone, unfriended him, and stalked off. Needing some comfort food, he signaled the waiter for a bacon cheeseburger.

Narcissistic personality order 

Because the narcissist has no disorder.
"As you insisted, I went to the therapist. She told me I have narcissistic personality order, which she said very few individuals have. I described our relationship and she wants to see you three times a week."

Germaphobe

A suddenly-normal person for whom the global Coronavirus scare feels like everyday life.

Official Wokesperson 

The face of an institution, corporation, etc , whose job it is to stand before the press and convey an image of irreproachable political correctness.
"Here at Enlightenment Worldwide, LLC, there is not one single straight, white, male on our staff", said the Official Wokesperson, who indeed seemed oddly indeterminate as to gender and ethnicity. "Further, I apologize for my English, as it is not my first language but my seventh."

wrydyllic 

Perfect in every way, no foolin'.
Describing her wrydyllic Hollywood upbringing, with her famously absent, movie-star father, her alcoholic mother's three-day orgies that allowed her no place to hide, her joyous hitch-hiking escape up the coast to Haight-Ashbury at 14, she kept a straight face and slight smile, the better to confound her interviewer.

The sexual urges you are told when young are sinful, and that you are not supposed to feel, but hey.
Staring into the stern, reprimanding face of Sister Mary-Grace, she wondered if her libado was visible, thinking, as she was, such forbidden thoughts.
