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.

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.

Yes, those tires' traction was awesome. Apparently we "simulposted!"

deopening

Deopening is the process by which stupid government leaders think that COVID-19 can be beat with a positive attitude and pretending it's not there, opening their jurisdictions far before scientists would suggest it, and getting so hammered with COVID-19 cases as a result that that they must now re-close down their economies such that methodical controlled opening would have likely prevented.

Political leaders who think the stress of COVID-19 is best dealt with by their constituents all "lightening up" and going to prematurely re-opened bars to have a drink will find themselves in need of closing such establishments again (deopening them,) as COVID rages, and not being able to open them again for a period that's quite longer than where controlled scientific re-opening was practiced.
