def-bombing

Attacking an Urban Dictionary definition with a sustained barrage of thumbs-down votes.
The definition had been selected as Word of the Day. It had earned thousands of thumbs-up votes and many fewer thumbs-down. But somebody out there was peeved. Every day they contrived to give it as many thumbs-downs as they could, usually four or five, in an act of def-bombing that only underscored the power of the definition itself.

virologic

Deductive reasoning and common sense, pertaining to a virus.
Mandating that children and teachers be sent into the classroom, at the same moment people were legally forbidden to sit inside a restaurant, was a blatant and indefensible failure of virologic.

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.

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."

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.”

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.

mail sorting machines

By late August, as America geared up for voting-by-mail in the November presidential election, countless mail sorting machines had been not only removed from Post Offices across the country, they had been destroyed.
