Gorman-left 

Women in academia or similar fields of work that are incredibly left leaning, wear colourful wools, have pink hair and glasses that suggest a strong opinion.

Oh Abigail? Yeah, she's very Gorman-left. Some of the things she says are too woke to handle.

Weather purgatory 

When the weather is obnoxiously terrible or stagnant for an extended period of time with no change in sight.

Ugh. This weather purgatory in Sydney has been going for almost a year. When will this end?!

seasonally ethnically ambiguous 

When the shade of your skin changes significantly between seasons enough that people can't pin down what ethnicity you might be.

Person A: "Oh Man, it's winter again. People can't tell if I'm brown enough to be racist to or white enough to be polite to"

Person B: "Dammit! I know what you mean. We're both so seasonally ethnically ambiguous"

fizzy whip (physiological whiplash)

What your body experiences when you travel from one destination to another that has a completely different climate. Typically Northern to Southern Hemisphere switches.

Oh no, I just got to Norway after an insanely long flight from Australia. I feel like I have a terrible case of fizzy whip (physiological whiplash). I'm going to need to nap so hard!
