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

butt coaster

A towel, or other absorbent material, used to protect a bed, bench, chair, etc., from the residue moisture left over on one's posterior after a shower, bath, or swim. The towel acts much like a coaster that is used to protect furniture, except this time it's protecting the bed from your wet butt.

"Can't you please use a butt coaster" said Jean, after I got our bed wet by sitting directly on it after coming out of the shower.

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.

Screwged

The unpleasant realization that, when assembling a purchased product, the painful discovery that the manufacturer has not included enough screws, bolts, nuts, etc. to complete the assembly. The word is derived from the character of Scrooge depicted in Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". The word represents the frustration created by a manufacturer's miserly policy of not spending just a few extra cents to make sure enough parts were provided for proper assembly

Jack was assembling the bicycle he had bought for Johnny, but found out he was screwged when there weren't enough bolts supplied.

DyslexiAM

The act of setting a clock incorrectly by 12 hours (e.g setting the alarm for 7:00PM instead of 7:00AM)

Jean needed to get up at 6:00AM but accidentally set her alarm for 6:00PM and was late for work again. She tried to explain to her boss that she suffered from DyslexiAM, but she was fired anyways

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
