elevator reflex

The urge people get once inside an elevator to stare compulsively at the ascending numbered lights (usually on top of the elevator doors) either because they are truly convinced this will speed up the whole 'process' or they are simply socially-awkward beings who can't bear to look at random people in the face for 30 seconds.

Mo:"Dude so I was talking to this chick.."
--elevator opens--
Toño Bicicleta: "Call you back Mo I have to stare at the floor 'till I get off the vator or else I have to talk to these people".
Mo: "Sounds like a bad case of the elevator reflex yo, you should go get checked."

Reflex Thoughts

When you see someone and your subconscience (or conscience?) automatically thinks (BIG NOSE/EYES TOO CLOSE/UGLY/FAT/OLD/BALD/GAY/etc. repetitively until the person is out of your sight.

Joe was watching the News and his reflex thoughts were spamming his mind with offensive terms until the camera showed someone with slightly smaller ears.

conversational reflexes

1. how deftly an individual can adapt a story or sentence they are currently telling to steer the mood of the listeners in their favor

2. how quickly an individual can fabricate a believable story while under scrutiny

A real-life instance of good Conversational Reflexes:

I just was going 125mph in my rental car 10min before reaching a security checkpoint.

Officer: "is that a rental? how fast does it go?"

Me: "I wouldn't know, this car is really slow"

remote reflex

The lightning fast,cat-like reflex of grabbing the remote control to mute or change channels when an uber annoying commercial comes on the TV. Can be anything from a Jennifer Hudson Weight Watcher promo,to a hard-to-watch starving child,animal abuse or child with whooping cough spot.

My remote reflex has been timed at 15/100 of a second.

Tweener-Reflex

The sudden urge one gets to leave (or have your "tweener" leave) almost immediately after having had sex with your "tweener", regardless or sexual gratification.

(Tweener (adj): People who are sexually intimate with when they are both between relationships - similar to friends with benefits, but with the expectation that while the friendship will continue, the benefits are put aside when one of the people involved gets involved in a romantic relationship.) This is not to be confused with one-night stand remorse or anxiety, since tweeners are not usually just one night stands.

After being out all doing something (day or night) you get home and realize you are horny. You are in between relationships so you call someone you know. The two of you engage in short conversation, have a few adult beverages and get down to business... almost as soon as you finish, you are hit with the "tweener-reflex" and need to get up and get moving or you want your "tweener' to leave so you can sleep. This is not the same as guilt or remorse, its just a feeling you don't want them hanging around.
