Proofing 

Giving a relationship time to breathe and not rushing into it.

I’ve told my mate Alex that I think him and his new girl need some proofing before they move in together, they don’t know each other very well yet!

Connell-vision 

Fancying someone based on their fashion sense

I’ve been trying to get to know Brian for his personality, but I’ve got total Connell-vision, I only fancy his outfits. I can’t help it though, he’s got such great style!

Barnard-castling 

Getting caught out by your partner for using outlandish excuses.

Totally caught Ben Barnard-castling last night when he tried to bluff his way out of why he didn’t have dinner ready. His excuse was downright pathetic!

Baby Zoomer

A term to describe the new ‘generation’ of babies conceived during lockdown.

My mate Jessica just told me she’s pregnant, so I congratulated her on her future baby zoomer!

Twice Baked 

When someone’s chat is twice baked and you have the same repetitive boring COVID convos, from sourdough to banana bread.

I just had to get out of that chat, it was so twice baked and I’m utterly sick of talking about the pandemic.

Hey & Pray 

Indiscriminately spamming every match with a basic "Hey there," "Hey you," "Hey," "Hi," and praying that someone will respond and be interested.

Ugh, this is the fifth guy this week to hey & pray me, what do you even say back to "hey"?

Bradying 

Ending a long-term relationship despite friends and family thinking you're making a mistake.

As if breakups aren't tough enough, I'm always Bradying because my friends and fam get too attached to my girlfriends.
