Darnella Frazier 

The young woman whose eyewitness video of the George Floyd killing by former police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, became a crucial artifact of American history.

Only 17 at the time, Darnella Frazier is to the Floyd killing what Abraham Zapruder was to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, an accidental bystander with a camera, a vital witness to an historic moment. Ms. Frazier's video of the arrest, which recorded Floyd's plea - I can't breathe - as Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes, sparked protests across the country. A witness at Chauvin's murder trial, Ms. Frazier expressed regret for not physically confronting Mr. Chauvin. “It’s been nights I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life,” Ms. Frazier said.

Nasal Flasher 

A sexual deviant who derives pleasure from exposing his or her nostrils in public, wearing a mask over their mouth but under their nose.

As with other bodily orifices, it is presently taboo to expose one's nostrils in public. So naturally there is a new breed of Nasal Flasher, making eye contact with strangers while in this way semi-naked. Not to be confused with the millions who do not understand that the nose and mouth are connected, and walk around with their own nostrils exposed.

As with other bodily orifices, it is presently taboo to expose one's nostrils in public. So naturally there is a new breed of Nasal Flasher, making eye contact, semi-naked, getting their kicks. They are often confused with the millions of total morons who do not understand that the nose and mouth are connected.

dead-eyed white men 

They share a common feature, beyond their gender and ethnicity. Americans who commit almost all mass shootings and other crimes of hate have the same uninflected, flat stare, easily seen in hundreds of photographs.

From Atlanta to Gilroy, through Las Vegas to Rockford, Orlando, El Paso and Oklahoma City, the locations and victims too many to count, the mass killings in America were not carried out by any of the hotly-feared groups targeted by the Far Right and the NRA. Mug shots reveal that in almost every case, the perpetrators were dead-eyed white men.

Sane Patrick's Day 

The special day in mid-March when people do NOT gather in tightly-packed spaces to get drunk, yell, sing and generally breathe in each others' faces, because there is still a global pandemic.

With his six-pack of Guinness, he sat on his sofa to celebrate Sane Patrick's Day, and set his sights on next year.

Toxitocin 

Oxytocin's evil twin, a hormone and neurotransmitter released into the bloodstream, producing violently unpleasant sensations, in response to certain stimuli.

She realized that for the first time in five years her mind and body were at ease. Biden was president. Covid vaccinations were available, stimulus checks were in the mail, which no longer took weeks to arrive. The trump-era infusions of corrosive Toxitocin which, at the sound... the very mention!... of the t-word, of that bluntly pugilistic name, the whine of that little voice! the sight of that absurd hairdo! had surged and coursed through her veins and synapses, was ebbing away. It was over. She felt almost alive again.
