Quack in the box
A small medical clinic in a strip mall office containing minimal medical equipment and low skill staff. You go in there for a quick medical checkup and diagnosis but never for anything else.

Mercury is in retrograde
Alex: Any idea why Charlotte is mad at you today?
Bob: Who knows, she was grumbling earlier about Sagittariuses. Maybe mercury is in retrograde or something.

Parking Crater
A parking lot that covers an absurdly large section of a city. Often found outside stadiums, megachurches, and Walmarts. They typically take up more land area than the establishment itself. Parking craters typically have no tree cover, making them unpleasant to walk through, contribute to the urban heat island effect, force urban sprawl, thereby lengthening commute times, and take up valuable space that could be devoted to other businesses.
The center of my hometown used to be such a fun and lively area, but now it’s nothing but a big parking crater.

Boxxing
Oversimplified political thought that revolves around putting people into arbitrary “boxes” based on perceived political identity, rather than trying to understand each individual’s personal beliefs.
Spelled with 2 x’s to help distinguish “boxing” (left hook, right hook) from “boxxing” (left wing, right wing). First appeared in an Alex Hexagon video.

An example of “boxxing”:
Shepherd believes that men and women have unique abilities and personality traits from birth, and that while both are of equal value, gender roles in society should reflect these differences rather than trying to force men to be women or vice versa. He goes into the “conservative” box.
Andrew believes that women offer nothing of value to men other than sexual gratification, and that men should never invite them into their lives. He goes into the “conservative” box despite having absolutely nothing in common with Shepherd.
Marianne, a self-identified progressive, boxxes the two together and cannot see the difference between the two, despite there being nothing but difference. If you want to be able to have debates with people, you need to learn to think outside the box.
