vernocular
The visual appearance - facial features, body type and mode of dressing - of ordinary people in a particular country or region.
She exemplified the Parisian vernocular. Without an extra pound, without jewelry or makeup, without piercings or tattoos - Mon Dieu! - her hair brushed up and away from her face, held in an easy ponytail, she was dressed with exquisitely simple taste, everything of the most subtle colors and quality, and her appearance radiated graceful self-possession. She could not have come from anywhere else.

longing distance
The space, literal and emotional, between yourself and another person, hoping for their safety and well-being, wishing you could be together when you are inescapably separated during the pandemic.
Unable to help in any way, hoping each day that she would remain well, wishing he could simply be where she was, the longing distance was at times unbearable.

Undustrialized Nation
For the moment, America, like many other countries, was an undustrialized nation, most of its commerce shut down in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

complain't
A complaint that isn't.
An actor's lament that while he could recently walk the streets unnoticed, fans now come up to him for selfies.

Her complain't that men looked desirously upon her when she entered a room would, in a few years time, become a genuine complaint that no one looked anymore.
