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.

rucsacker

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.

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.

Instagramoeba

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.

- I can’t figure out if Anna was being rude or she’s just shy but she always seems more interested in her phone than talking to anyone for more than about 30 seconds.

- She’s turning into a bit of an Instagramoeba, it’s true.

Do Gooder Two-Shoes

Someone who is both a Do gooder and a Goody Two-shoes at the same time.

So someone who always likes to appear like they're helping someone while also working hard to maintain a whiter-than-white morally superior image.

It's getting so tedious with Helen. Every time I speak to her she manages to allude to how earnest and woke she is. There’s always some virtue signalling in there and some humble brags or other comments that hint at what a good, moral and worthy person she is. She’s such a Do Gooder Two-shoes.

Genghis

(verb) to sows your wild oats; engage in promiscuity and rebelliousness, have many sexual relationships.

Man, it’s a shame Jim is getting serious with Zarina. With that white Mercedez of his, me and him would have absolutely Genghis’d this town.

thumb dribble

that
annoying thing
when people
send you
a message
a few words

at a time

…forcing you to wait and wait until their message ends up looking like a wise, ancient scroll inciting needless drama and anticipation to their communication like it’s some sort of top secret briefing.

- Did Jim not text you about tonight?
- Yeah, but it was all in one of his thumb dribbles that went on and on, so I stopped reading it.
