Phantom Wristband Syndrome

After wearing a paper wristband for several days it is common for a person to experience the sensation that they are still wearing a wristband even though it’s been removed. This sensation is called “phantom wristband syndrome “

Dave visited Jean everyday in the hospital. Each day he had to get a new color wristband to prove he was an approved visitor. After Jean left the hospital, Dave experienced “Phantom Wristband Syndrome” feeling like he still had a wristband on, even though it had been removed several days ago

Tele-pee-thic

Tele-pee-thic – the system dogs use to communicate with each other through encoded messages in their urine. A dog will send a tele-pee-thic message, like “beware of the postman”, by relieving itself on a bush, fire hydrant, grass, etc. Then another dog will come along, smell the urine spot to receive the message, then reply with a courtesy pee on the same location stating “Callie received your message-thanks”

Rover bravely sent a tele-pee-thic message to all other dogs in the area by urinating on Mrs Jone’s rose bushes. The message sent was “Nice flowers, but a mean lady will yell at you if you leave a message here”

Peon-me bush

Any vegetation (tree, bush, flowers) that your dog insists on urinating on while out for a neighborhood walk. A peony bush, with it’s beautiful spring flowers, is a subset of the peon-me group of vegetation

Jean loved to get her exercise by taking her little dog Callie out for a walk every evening, but disliked the way Callie had to stop at every peon-me bush to relieve herself.

SNIFU

SNIFU (rhymes with snafu) is used as an apologetic message when you accidentally send a text message to the wrong recipient or text group. It's an easy way of saying "Sorry, Not Intended For You"

Wendy was always sending text messages to the wrong person. She would start typing her message and hit send before she realized that she was in the wrong window. Then she would have to type "SNIFU" to let the recipient of the wayward text know that the message was "Sorry, Not Intended for You"

charger-challenged

The inability to remember to plug a cell phone in to recharge occasionally, thus resulting in a battery-dead device.

Jean's IPhone never work's when she needs it. She cannot ever remember to plug it in overnight. She is definitely charger-challenged.

NotFlix

Movies/tv shows recommended by friends that you know you will never watch on Netflix:

Jean listened to Dave go on and on about a great show that he had just seen on Netflix. Even though she feigned interest, she knew she would never watch it.

She had already added it to her NotFlix collection

Fauciian Scale

A measurement scale, from one to ten used to describe how seriously a person takes the CDC’s recommendation to wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to practice social distancing

One=Refuses to ever wear a mask, thinks COVID-19 is a hoax
Two

Three=only wears a mask in public when forced
Four

Five
Six
Seven=wears a mask in public, but not around close friends in own house
Eight
Nine
Ten=Always wears a mask, even when at home (living alone)

That asshole never wears a mask even though he sells tickets at a bus station. He’s a “one” on the Fauciian scale.

Our neighbors were a lot more serious about Covid than we are. They wore a mask the entire time they were at our house. I guess they’re a nine on the Fauciian scale and we’re only a seven.

I saw a guy in the store "wearing" a mask by just having it dangling from his ear, not covering his face. I'd only give him two fauci's on the fauciian scale
