Houseplanting

Overanalyzing or creating discontentment in relationships, friendships, life, or other things when the actual cause of unhappiness is similar to the needs of a houseplant, like not getting enough Vitamin D or drinking enough water.

Jamie: Did you hear that Gary was really sad today? Apparently life isn't serving him all that well after all.
Oliver: He's just houseplanting. Get him some food and a nap and he'll be fine.

The Horse's Name was Friday

A phrase said in response to a question that makes no goddamn sense.

Joey: So if the train leaves Station B 15 minutes later, and the sun is 86° overhead, when will the shadows of the two trains be equal in length?
Brandon: The horse's name was Friday.
