sweatshopped

When you purchase an item of clothing or footwear from a retailer that you had always previously trusted to provide a minimum standard of quality but when you get home, a detail - such as a button, a buckle or a zip comes off in your hand before you’ve even had a chance to wear it.
A - Hey, aren’t you going to wear those new boots you got today?
B - Oh man, I’ve been sweatshopped. I’ve tried to do them up and the zip came off in my hand.

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.

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.

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.
