zooman (noun)

A person known exclusively through video calls (especially Zoom), never encountered in physical space, and therefore distinct from a “human” in the sense of lived, in-person experience.

A relationship that exists only in virtual interaction, lacking the full dimensionality, sensory presence, and embodied connection associated with a human you’ve met face-to-face.
“We’ve shared a lot online, but he’s still a zooman, not yet a human in my world.”

Darcey Zoolander

When one fails to do the "zoolander pose" miserably. Aka Darcey's version of the "zoolander pose" from the movie Zoolander. Basically, Darcey raises his eyebrows in a retarded fashion instead of giving the cool appearance of the real "zoolander pose". This definitly makes him look extrememly douchey.
Guy 1: Alright i am taking the picture.
1,2,3!

Guy 2: Wait up, i thing we're going to have to do that one over, I'm pretty sure i just pulled the "Darcey Zoolander".You know, when you have your eyebrows raised in a retarded fashion. Remember, Darcey was the first to do it hence the name "Darcey Zoolander."

Guy 1: Hahaha you did, man i'm sorry, we have to take this one over otherwise you'll look like a major douche bag!

Guy 2: Yeah i know, shut up.
