Interruption Factory

Another term for "office," especially crowded, open-plan offices workers are shoved into like cattle...despite the fact that they can far more effectively and efficiently do their work remotely. Coined in the article "Hybrid combines the worst of office and remote work." on June 8th, 2023.
"My company is claiming they have to relocate me to their interruption factory in Seattle...I think they're just trying to lay me off without being on the hook for severance."

roomatus interruptus

{roo-may-tuss in-ter-up-tuss}

Occurs when playing hide the sausage and a chick's room mate unexpectedly bursts into the studio apartment they share with three cats, thus prematurely ending the hawt sex.

Unfortunate results include but are not limited to massive blue balls and the dreaded, inexplicable snatch attack.

See also cock block.
A textbook example of roomatus interruptus:

(dude) "Aw yeah babe, we're totally DOING IT right now and it's great!"

(chick) "Oh yeah, this is way fun! Let's do this until you orgasm then I'll make you a sandwich with my roomie's lunch meats."

(dude) "That's sounds gr--"

(fat room mate, interrupting) "Hey guys I'm home!!! Did you feed the cat?"

Captain Internet

Captain Internet is antithesis of Captain Obvious. Instead of stating the obvious, Captain Internet will quote random and obscure facts that briefly made headlines on the Internet days, sometimes years, prior. That's not to say that Captain Internet has all this information in their head and ready to spout at will, the memory of Captain Internet remembers only pieces of the fact, just enough to perform a successful search of the Internet. Often the reference will come up in conversation and days later, Captain Internet will strike with a link about "that thing we were talking about" or two Captain Internet's will have a duel and attempt to prove that they were the first to learn about a given piece of information.

Captain Internet's pride comes not from knowing facts, or even providing useful information, but from knowing something that someone didn't know and proving that they knew it first.

While Captain Internet is a relatively new phenomenon, they are direct descendants of Captain Encyclopedia, who dominated post-conversation follow-up throughout most of the 20th century. Their rise has in part been aided by the posting site Reddit, since posts are time-stamped, allowing Captain Internet to prove that they were first to learn something.
*** sometime in 2013 ***
friend: "have you seen this Gangnam Style video?
Captain Internet: "yes, that blew up last year. I saw it first on Youtube when it only had 100,000 views."

friend: email "look at these security images of cougars found stalking around a house in town"
Captain Internet: "I saw that on Reddit 5 days ago, here's the <link>"

friend: ".. and that's why carbon dioxide needs to be expelled from your lungs or it will become toxic.."
Captain Internet: "oh, that reminds me of this interesting lake somewhere that slowly collect carbon dioxide in it somehow.. I forget it's name"
4 days later
Captain Internet: email "here's the link for Lake Nyos, a lake in Cameroon that absorbs carbon dioxide from a volcanic vent underneath it, here's <link>"

friend: "thanks Captain Internet"
Captain Internet: "is that a real thing?
friend: "yes, I just made it up"
Captain Internet: "that's actually already on Urban Dictionary, here's the <link>"

Escrotious Intent

-To subvert sound opinion and gut feelings with facts and logic.

-To ignore one's inner voice and instead choosing to follow documented facts
Bill knew that what he thought was true because he just knew it... knew it in his gut, regardless of facts and logic. Dave's attempt to blur Bill's reasoning with legal documents was escrotious.

Your Honor, I object on the basis of escrotious intent. My client knows what she feels and the court should accept that.
