Norma

The new normal. What life will be when the world reopens after Covid-19.
Logan: Can’t wait for life to get back to normal.

Parker: That’s not gonna happen. It will be Norma, sorta like normal. We can go shopping or get a drink, but wearing masks and not touching anything, sanitizing everything...

Pseudohemian

Someone with an upper middle class background and a well-paying job that adopts all the affectations of the bohemian urban living as a superficial cover for his/her truly entitled self.
Parker: Wanna go to the Arts District tonight? I got an invite for the opening of the gastropub run by the chef from the organic single source Bolivian schnitzel craft truck.

Logan: What? I'm so over that whole pseudohemian scene. Can we just get real tacos from a real Mexican restaurant with real margaritas? You know, like real people used to do?
Parker: Ya, I guess you're right. I'm kinda done pretending how much I like Moscow Mules so much better in a copper mug anyway.

Top down

When doing group meetings, classes or presentations online and clear off all the junk from table level and pile it on the floor so it is not seen. People that don’t normally work from home have to scramble to do this after a colleague lets them know how bad the pile of dishes, clothes, clutter...looks in the background.
Online classes are such a pain. My bff told me I have to do a top down and put everything on the floor so I don’t look like a slob.

Dante's Revenge

The story of how the Capitol insurrectionists' legal teams realized that their best defense was to push Trump under the bus for inciting the insurrectionists to storm the Capitol.
Normal person 1. Hey, did you see how the treasonous insurrectionists are now rightfully blaming Trump for inciting them to be idiots?
Normal person 2. I sure did. It took four years, but we finally have Dante's Revenge.
Normal person 1. It is a fitting and karmic fate for the scum in chief that "...rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fraud or malice against their fellowmen."

Swipin' and Gripin'

What too many people do when they online date--complain. And they have no clue that all the other swiper and gripers are saying the same thing about them.
Jennifer--All the guys on this site on such liars and all they want is a hookup. Look at Rick here. That picture is so old. Why do they think I care what car they drive? Hey, what year is that Beemer? Do you think it's leased? Mmmm...looks like he lives on the Bay...
April--Stop your swipin' and gripin'. You been on that UnhingedPlentyofBumLames site for six months. Two boob jobs later and and you're still cashing your ex's checks so now he can't afford his Porsche lease anymore.
Jennifer--Whatever, I'm so over him, he was such a narcissist. Want me to see if Rick has a friend?
April--Sure...

Facial Erection

The look on the face of the person that is too excited to see you. Obviously and prematurely turned on, very creepy. Opposite of poker face.
Stanley--Man, the women here are so anti-social. All I said was hi, you look hot, and she fled.
Melvin--Dude, turn it down a notch. Look at yourself. Your facial erection creeped her out bad so she's hiding behind her friends. Now get away from me before you kill my scene, too.

Bumblinaire

A seemingly stupid person that is very wealthy because his/her investments always pay off for no apparent reason.
Steve: How did Rich become so wealthy? Was his daddy loaded?

Bill: No, he picks stocks with names that remind him of cartoon characters.

Steve: What? He’s as dumb as a rock

Bill: I know, but they always pay off. He’s a Bumblinaire.
