That slightly sour, uncomfortable feeling in the bottom corners of your mouth after you‘ve gorged on things like salami, olives, red wine and cheeses and your gums aren’t used to being bombarded with so many rich, salty flavours - so it takes a while for the funny tingling in your jaw to go away.
Hey, why are you pulling those funny faces, what’s the matter with you?
Oh man, I hit the canopes in the other room hard when I got here, I was starving. Delicious - but now I’ve got the mouth gout.

HBHW
Pronounced (Hub-how)
Short for:
Hot
But
Hard
Work
A girl who is so demanding and high maintenance that you give up dating her because the potential rewards aren't worth the loss of dignity caused by an onslaught of psychic pollution.
She's a HBHW....

- 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 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.

The slightly trance-like state someone falls into after submerging themselves in an extended period of scrolling aimlessly on social networks.
“Hey, snap out of your scroll coma and let’s back to work. Lunch break is over, I need you in the land of the living”.

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.

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?

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.
