going porcupine

When a person acts prickly and unfriendly towards another in a potentially romantic situation based on awkwardness and self-protection. Though person A likes person B a lot, they are afraid to show it and try to look cool by acting aloof and busy.

Don't worry, he's going porcupine because he's socially immature and intimidated by you. Give him some encouragement and he'll lighten up.

going spiral

The exact opposite of "going viral." Occurs in a manner akin to Sisyphus attempting to push a boulder up a hill only to have it roll down again and again, endlessly. Use "going spiral" to describe endless striving that yields no results in spite of one's best efforts.

Even my best stories will never go viral. I'm doomed to a life of "going spiral," always circling the drain.

Trumpémon GO

Pokémon GO à la Trump, where players hunt for digital apparitions of ex-President Donald Trump and some of the notorious morally bankrupt GOP lawmakers, being caught indulging in some unethical or immoral activities at some locations frequently patronized by them, before these Trumpémons are being dealt with by different destructive tools.

Trumpémon GO is pretty additive among tens of thousands of Democrat voters and mainland Chinese students studying in US colleges, with some of them being made penniless after splurging so much on digital currencies to track their favorite Trumpémons.

Going for Glory

1. In football, to give the ball some welly from 40 yards out in the hope you will score a brilliant equaliser and be carried off the pitch by adoring team mates, rather than hit a defender or balloon hilariously over the bar, as you almost certainly will.

2. In a wider context, to refer to somebody having a jolly good go at something that they will inevitably fail at.

1. "We're into the 89th minute. Owen's got the ball, Geremi's to his left, and...oh dear."
"What can you say, Clive. The lad was going for glory."

2. "Did you see our Jeremy, chatting up that blonde bombshell?"
"Yeah. Got to give the lad credit, going for glory like that."
