coyote’d 

kɔɪˈəʊtid

1. To be trapped in a meaningless conversation you're unable to get out of.

Usually, because you’re just too polite to do so.

Often, the other person doesn’t pick up on the fact that you’ve lost interest some time ago despite several clear indicators such as body language, facial expressions and light sarcastic nodding in agreement.

2. To be ranted and unable to escape.

See: taxi drivers, the entitled, your grandparents and others Dunning-Kruger'd up the ass.
Hey man, where did you disappear to?

Oh man, I just got Coyote’d over in the corner by Brendan. When he’s had a few, he really goes on, even when he has no idea what he’s talking about.

Mall Coma 

The semi-conscious state of being of that endless stream of people dazzled by shiny, brightly coloured promises purring from the shop fronts.
- I can't believe that couple just walked into us like that. Why weren't they looking where they were going?
- It's ok, she was just in a Mall Coma.

Karenisation 

The process of becoming a Karen.
Early middle age, or tragically, sometimes even earlier.
From being fairly cool, secure with yourself and happy with the world around to going full Karen: entitled, uptight and loving a public spat over really nothing from the exalted position of just being a consumer.
- Is it just me, or has Emma's really changed?
- Well, when you start living in the suburbs, in a neighbour like this, there's bound to be a little Karenisation.

Moscow Starfish 

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.
- Where’s Mark? He seemed pretty hammered last night.
- I looked into his room earlier, he’s still in a Moscow Starfish, exactly how I left him.

unsubscribe-ire 

That rage you fly into when you have to go looking for how to unsubscribe from constant 'Daily Alerts' you've started receiving from somewhere - that you know you're never gonna read, which have started filling up your inbox - seemingly multiplying like gremlins that had water poured on them.
More unsubscribe-ire this morning! I don't even remember subscribing to half of this shit to be honest, but they send you an new email every day! Who has the time?

Donald J

Drop a deuce.

Go for a number 2.
Poop.
I'm just off for a Donald J. Has anyone seen that newspaper?
