A single-celled organism which communicates with the outside world almost exclusively using Instagram to seek attention from strangers by posting heavily colour-corrected pictures of itself and it’s mundane, unfulfilled existence.
Instagramoebas mostly find it difficult to communicate under any other social conditions and seem to spend roughly 50% of their time staring into their phone.

croucher
The somewhat inconvenient convenience encountered in developing countries (and tragically, still in some developed ones too): a toilet where there is not much more than a hole in the floor framed by a metal or ceramic slab.
Therefore, for westerners, if one finds oneself in need of a number 2 then some important decisions need to be made regarding lower thigh strength, flexibility, clothing removal logistics and just necessity.

“I wanted to use the toilets at that last service station but they only had crouchers so I decided to hold it in until we get home.”

Moscow Starfish
When you fall asleep drunk on a bed, sofa or floor with your arms splayed out in the shape of a star - with your clothes still on – and you wake up or are awoken the next morning in exactly the same pose.
The Moscow Starfish can be executed on one’s back as well as face down.

- Wow! Do you know that girl?
- Yeah, but she's a HBHW. We went out on a couple of dates but she kept finding something wrong everywhere she looked, looked down on anyone we came into contact with and was constantly checking herself in the mirror. After the second date I had to tap out.

The position assumed by passengers of an aircraft in danger of an imminent collision or emergency landing as announced over the cabin’s public announcement system - occasionally adopted during a particularly disquieting visit to the toilet to dispatch a no.2 when someone is required to bow their head and grip something nearby or put one or both hands up against the wall.
Oh man, that curry really carved my guts up, last night. I had to assume the brace position just now.

Someone distinctly lacking self-awareness. Like a person who comes onto public transport wearing a rucsac and doesn’t realise that he’s knocking into people behind him every time he turns around.
In his own world.
Quite possibly on the spectrum.

Don’t pay too much attention to Joe, he’s just a bit of a rucsacker. He often has no concept of the effect he has on people with the things he does or says. You’ll get used to it.
