"Will Rogers" second chance

Refers to the rare and off-the-scale-wonderful "lucky break" obtained in the following scenario: you are "just suffering" to say something rude/impolite, but then of course you immediately regret said verbal-indiscretion just as soon as it's slipped past yer flapper. But then --- by the grace of Fate --- the unwitting recipient of your snide remark either hadn't been paying attention properly when you'd uttered your auditory barb, he is a bit hard-of-hearing, or you hadn't been speaking loudly enough to be heard over the distance and/or other background noises that were present at the time, and so your "victim" never actually understood --- nor did he suffer any emotional distress from --- your insult, and so he innocently/apologetically asks you to repeat yourself. But of course, YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY THE MEAN STATEMENT A SECOND TIME --- now that you've "relieved your internal pressure" by initially making the simmery-tempered remark and then THINKING that the other person heard you, you can now proceed more clear-headedly, and so you can simply say, "Nuthin'" or, "Never mind" when the other person asks you what you'd said.

I was heatedly peeved about how long it had taken the local garage to repair my car, so I made a regrettably-choice remark as I entered the office to pay my bill. Fortunately, though, the office's connecting-door was still somewhat ajar as I spoke, and so the din of the noisy garage-tools drowned out my derogatory statement, allowing me a classic "Will Rogers" second chance to just clamp my tongue. Yup, Ol' "Willie R" was right --- "Never miss a good chance to SHUT UP."

Second hand drunk

The more sociable and fun feeling you get when surrounded by drunk people, but technically sober yourself. This is due to the subconscious knowledge that those around you are less judgmental due to their inebriated state.

Person 1: “Yo bro, have you been drinking??? You’re supposed to be DD!”

Person 2: “”Nah, bro I’m sober just enjoying this second hand drunk ya feel?”

Breaking the second wall

Breaking the second wall is similar to breaking the 3rd. But instead of knowing you are part of a simulation, you propose you might be in one, but you don't believe it.

The Quantum scientist just broke the second wall, thinking that we are in a simulation...
If they are right, we might be breaking the second wall and 3rd wall!

The Second Generation-Introverts

it's basically same as introverts but they tend to be active and considered about their comfort zone more, they start to fight for it

"people always tell introverts to be more talkative and leave their comfort zones. yet no one tells extroverts to shut up to make the zone comfortable" - said the second-generation introvert DittoTheShapeShifter

- you definitely need to be more active and talk more or else you will be that silent person forever (kind of crazy bitch and smile)
-how about you start to talk less and let me create a comfort zone for us (as u guess room is full of people 7 int and 3 ext)
- wow u sound like The Second Generation-Introverts (its too late)
- listen here you little shit..... (fight starts)
