brace position

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.

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?

pizza cloud

Pizza Cloud

The place that you go after you bite into your first slice of pizza - after a hard day or a hard week - and for a moment, you can’t really hear, see or feel anything around you.
- So what do you want to watch tonight?
Hello…?

He-lo…?

Anyone there…?

Diana?

- Oh, sorry I didn’t hear a word you were saying. I was on my Pizza Cloud.

scroll shame

The feeling of regret after having wasted far too much time scrolling aimlessly over social networks instead of spending the time doing something productive.
"I’ve got serious scroll shame today. I just spent 25 minutes scrolling and falling down one clickbait rabbit hole after another. I could have got so much done already but now I’m out of time".

Notification remorse

That hollow feeling in your chest when you've posted something on social media and when you've returned to it later on you find that you haven't received any likes, comments, smileys or notifications at all. Or if you have - much less than you'd hoped for.
What's up with her? She's suffering from notification remorse. She posted a sexy selfie this morning but only received one like.

alphaing

When a man walks into a space where there are one or more men in a way that announces his alpha maleness in some obviously way. This can be with a slow, shoulder-swinging walk, or just with a tough guy look on his face or with another affected gesture of nonchalance.

It can be as little as shooting you with a look though to 'let you know he's there' and is the alpha male within this particular territory, unless you have any ambitions to prove otherwise
Her ex-boyfriend walked in and started alphaing over by the the bar.
