COVID friend group
A small group of people you both enjoy hanging out with and share your common sense approach to hygiene due to COVID-19, that are unlikely to infect you, or you them.
Honey, we should invite Nancy and her family into our COVID friend group and have them over for take out dinner. She and her husband have been working from home and are uber careful, both themselves and with their kids, about social distancing and masks/hand washing, etc..

Amazon shut in
A person who has no reason to leave the house, bathe, shave, or even change their clothes because that purchasable in life, which would normally take errands--and the social hygiene associated with same--can be ordered to their front door step from that "internet rain forest" which has all.
Dude, the dog smells better than you. When was the last time you showered?!
Dude: I think it was some time back in the "modem days" dude, I'm not sure! I'm an Amazon shut in!

mass shooting apathy
The condition by which our horror over the reports of innocent lives taken, families destroyed, and not enough done to put an end to such gun based mass casualty violence, over time, leads to mere head nods of sadness given how commonplace they have become, and how in order for us to get through the day, we must block out what we felt over "Sandy Hook" or "Columbine," or "Parkland," multiplied by the number of times it has happened since.
It is sad how, while the one hand, I feel terrible over the most recent mass shooting, my mass shooting apathy has kicked as a survival mechanism, and made me feel less than I did when I first heard of the "Columbine" incident.

simulposted
The process of two people writing, and particularly posting to a bulletin board at roughly the same time, each not knowing the other was doing so. It is off particular significance when similar points are being expressed in each post.

power-watch
power-watch (alternative/2nd definition): To download a season or entire series of a television or media show, and watch it without commercials, near or entirely uninterrupted, in a matter of days.
I downloaded all of "Game of Thrones" Friday evening and was able to power-watch it over the three day weekend. I desperately need to shower.

Stupish
Do you have any idea how stupish it is for you to be texting and driving!? How stupid is it that you can't wait to pull over to read and respond to a text? How selfish is it that you put yourself, others, your and other people's vehicles, not to mention pedestrians and other property at risk by this action?!!!
Stuparrogance
The amalgamation of stupidity and arrogance. Where bad decisions aren't quite narcissistic, and yet inflated self worth and compromised decision making--sometimes the former affecting the latter--come together to result in blunders of near historic proportions
Ivanka Trump using a personal email account as a Senior Aid to a President, her father, who feels that his opponent should be locked up for previously acting in kind, demonstrated stuparrogance of epic proportions on Ms. Trump's part.
