suisociophobia

A society's fear of itself.
'Love Thy Neighbor' seemed an outdated notion, a souvenir of a vanished world, everyone now sheltering indoors, regarding their neighbors as a threat, overtaken by suisociophobia.

glass coffee table

A metaphor for the larger thing being destroyed in an attempt to eliminate a much smaller thing.
The conservative justices might have noted that 'voting fraud', which several states claim they are trying to prevent, is essentially nonexistent. As one federal judge put it, such laws are akin to using “a sledgehammer to hit an imaginary fly on a glass coffee table.”

being very careful

The delusion many experience while taking enormous risks with their health and their lives, during the Covid pandemic.
"You're going where??"

"Out to dinner. With friends. We're so done with being locked up."

"Don't you realize it's not safe to do that?"

"Oh, I'm being very careful."

American slaughterhouse

The location of massively disproportionate numbers of COVID-19 infections.
By late April, it still had not occurred to anyone in government to question whether the American slaughterhouse shutdowns, due to huge numbers of worker infections, might be a signal that coronavirus was animal-borne.

gratchooity

A tip so small it is in fact something to sneeze at.
He figured their server - "My name is Jason and I'll be taking care of you this evening" - having spilled water all over the table, and their laps, having left chunks of cork in their wine, having believed that 'medium-well' and 'medium rare' were indistinguishable and trying to persuade them of same, and having asked, "You two really a couple? ... Hot chick like this actually went out with you???" before turning to her and asking what she was doing next weekend, and lastly, sneezing on their desserts... deserved an appropriate tip, he calculated Jason's gratchooity, rounding it down to the closest dime.

Girlie Bird

A self-consciously hyper-feminized young woman
"The Girlie Bird catches the worm" muttered Tiff to herself, as she put the final touches on her makeup, earrings, hair, stilettos, cleavage and hemline, before heading to the bar.
