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.

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.

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.
