goon trance

“Gooning is a sort of modernized version of tantric sex/masturbation without the spiritual aspects that have been traditionally associated with it in the past. ... It’s an almost hypnotic, semi-meditative mental state a person can enter after prolonged masturbation.”

The ones who travel furthest for self-pleasure say that, if they edge long enough, they fall into a mind-numbing trance where nothing matters but nutting. Only then can an edger truly claim to be “gooning.”

-- M. Stahl, "THE PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE OF ‘GOONING’ — OR MASTURBATING INTO A TRANCE, Mel Magazine (accessed December 20, 2022)

Just when you think you know how to masturbate, someone finds the goon trance. Now you can spend your whole day almost getting off.

boomer space

Putting two spaces after a period. Even though every reference written after 1995 says that it's now one space after a period, your 60-year-old CEO still insists that when he was walking uphill, barefoot, in the snow, with one typewriter under each arm, his secretary put two spaces after a period and, dammit, you will, too, as long as you work here.

My soul dies just a little more every time I put that second space after a period, but the boss says we have to use the Boomer space.
