name overload

When you've met so many new people lately you can no longer keep anyone's name straight. Even friends and family members whom you've known a long time are not exempt.

Friend 1: "Hi to Megan and James!"

Friend 2: "Not James...Michael dearie! James is my sister's son."

Friend 1: "Ooops, I am so sorry. I've been meeting a lot of new people lately, I must be suffering from name overload."

unrequited sex

When you've had sex with someone but for one reason or another, neither of you reached orgasm. This leaves you feeling afterwards like you haven't had sex even though you have; frequently this means you want more.

Bro 1: Dude, why are you still thinking about her, didn't you two get it on at that party a few weeks ago? Move on, man!

Bro 2: Yeah, but we got interrupted before we could finish. Unrequited sex just leaves me wanting more.

coder's block

A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue writing code / programming.

I just can't figure out how to approach this new programming project. Should I use PHP? Should I build it myself or look for some libraries I can use? I think I have coder's block.

I've been struggling with coder's block for the past few weeks, and after staring blankly all day at some really ugly code I wrote a while back that uses PHP, MySQL, and regex, it finally started clicking with me again and I was able to update it. I got it back now, baby!

like-stalker

A Facebook friend who clicks the "like" button on nearly everything you post.

Yeah, this guy that I just friended on Facebook is a like-stalker - he keeps liking all my status updates. Not sure if he's a true stalker or just stalker-ish... but, he is kinda cute...

closet liker

(On Facebook) When you avoid commenting or clicking the "like" button on the things someone posts because you don't want to let on that you like this person.

Girl: I really like the things this guy posts on his wall but I'm afraid to click "like" because then he'll think I like him... I do like him, but I would rather find other ways to approach him.
Friend: You're such a closet liker. Just be aware that if you avoid liking or commenting then he may think you aren't interested and you won't get his attention. On the other hand, if you "like" too much, then you're a like-stalker and might scare him away… it's a catch-22.

between a pillow and a soft place

Describes a situation where something has two meanings to you, both of which warm your heart.

Cousin 1: You know, you've become like a sister to me!
Cousin 2: Awww, I'm touched that you feel that way, plus I feel like I've gained a sister! It puts me between a pillow and a soft place!

Guy: Being with you makes me want to be a better person.
Gal: I'm between a pillow and a soft place hearing you say that.

rave chicken

Someone who attends the Burning Man Festival or a rave and decorates themself in copious amounts of feathers. Inevitably some of the feathers fall off and become moop, littering the environment and irritating their more environmentally-conscious campmates. Related to the Sparkle Pony.

Burner #1: Damn, was a bird killed over here? What's with all the feathers?
Burner #2: Nah, I think it's just moop leftover from a bunch of rave chickens dancing.
