designer dog guilt

Someone who pays a breeder for a particular type of dog may do so seeking certain characteristics common to that breed, that may not be found taking chances with a shelter dog which often is no less loving, and in need of a home, resulting in feelings of designer dog guilt.

No kill shelter or not, your spent $3,000 on a dog when countless adorable animals in shelters, available for free no less, need a forever home? What's wrong with you?!!! Don't you have any designer dog guilt?

No Roe no go

The process of refusing to vote for a political candidate who does not support the reinstatement of the Roe V Wade standard either by Supreme Court nominee and/or express legislation.

I will never support that candidate for political office because they don't support the right for woman to control their own reproductive rights and privacy. You know me, it's "no Roe no go."

COVID friend group

A small group of people you both enjoy hanging out with and share your common sense approach to hygiene due to COVID-19, that are unlikely to infect you, or you them.

Honey, we should invite Nancy and her family into our COVID friend group and have them over for take out dinner. She and her husband have been working from home and are uber careful, both themselves and with their kids, about social distancing and masks/hand washing, etc..

Too many sorry sites to list.

power-watch

power-watch (alternative/2nd definition): To download a season or entire series of a television or media show, and watch it without commercials, near or entirely uninterrupted, in a matter of days.

I downloaded all of "Game of Thrones" Friday evening and was able to power-watch it over the three day weekend. I desperately need to shower.

simulposted

Yes, those tires' traction was awesome. Apparently we "simulposted!"

covindicate

The process of proving that someone was not patient zero at some Covid super spreader event

People are blaming Bobbie for spreading Covid at the party when he never tested positive. I will covindicate him if it's the last thing I do!
