Coronal Retentive

Excessively orderly and fussy, paying too much attention to detail, as the result of being locked in during the coronaviral era.
She had always been relaxed and carefree. But with nowhere to go and no one to see, she reorganized every item in the bathroom cabinet by size, color and alphabetical order, and worried she was becoming coronal retentive.

Standard Time

The sense of time we used to experience, as we tried and failed to reclaim it on November 1, 2020.
She awoke on November 1, 2020, eight months into Covid world, four years in the Trumpian alternative universe, and found herself trying to name the daze of the week, wondering how many of them until November 3, 2020, when something or nothing might change, maybe a few months or hours, who could say, and was reminded that she was back on Standard Time.

Quarantennials

The generation coming into their 20s in the coronaviral age. Leaving college with a stay-at-home diploma, the prospects for career and family will be different from those faced by any generation in memory.
"As one of the Quarantennials, my education promises almost nothing. There will be no work for me, or anyone, in my chosen field, no promise of income, no practical dreams of home and family. It's true for almost everyone I know."

Amerarcana

A future word describing indecipherable objects: mysterious red-white-and-blue cloth, tattered paperback copies of the Constitution, Barbie dolls, portraits of Thomas Jefferson, carved Philadelphia chairs, dog licenses, coins, photos of things called World Trade Center and Golden Gate Bridge. They will be rumored to have come from a lost civilization, but one few people can believe ever existed.
'Another piece of Amerarcana?' he wondered, as he brushed the mud off the strange, almost perfectly round object, circled by small red lines and weird black marks which were shaped like 'M-a-j-o-r -L-e-a-g-u-e' and might once have meant something, although no one could say.
