(adj./verb)
A tactical retreat from a conversation that’s veered into the Mariana Trench, but you’re fresh out of submarine snacks.
Short for "Deep Enough; Moving On", it’s the polite cousin of "TL;DR" for verbal interactions. Use it when you want to exit an argument about snail extract based anti-aging face-cream being vegan or not or if someone’s dissecting their astrological trauma again.
The semicolon isn’t a typo—it’s the pause you take to regret ever asking “How are you?”
Use sparingly on first dates.
