House cherub

A person who spends a lot of time at home cooking and baking, and has achieved a pleasant amount of chubbiness. New York-based comedian/writer Tony Atamanuik mentioned this term on a Twitch gaming stream on October 19th, describing himself as “a fat, bread-baking little f-ing house cherub”. The image is especially humorous when applied to someone who isn’t babylike (the “putto” depicted in Renaissance artwork), but a well-built middle-aged man.
This is especially relevant to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, when many people found themselves housebound and turned to the kitchen to pass the time (and compensate for the difficulty in obtaining goods like bread and cakes after many retailers and restaurants shut down). With access to gym facilities restricted, bicycles and exercise equipment at a premium, and some areas imposing curfews or shelter-in-place orders due to rising infections, the “Corona 20” weight gain was widely discussed on social media.
I baked sourdough bread yesterday, and pizza for lunch today -- you guys have to help me eat this Sachertorte I made tonight, I think I'm turning into a house cherub!

holland house

Sussex University halls, based in Brighton. Right on the seafront. A place of beauty accentuated by a large intake of drugs and cheap wine from Budgens. Inhabitants can often be seen in local hotspots such as the aforementioned Budgens, the Brunswick, Grubbs or most often on the local beach. On mushrooms. Screaming 'the BABYLONS ARE HERE!'. Those who have lived in Holland House see it as a training school for future geniuses and/or hookers. Home to a thousand fantastic quotes.
'I'd go in my mums pubes if it was free!'
'Is this microwave made of organic materials?'
'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'
'Cos when you're dead THERE'S NO COMING BACK.'
'I'm going to do so many drugs for my birthday, there's a strong chance I'll die.'

House Anglo

House Anglos are these wretched Lib-Dem supporting middle class types jerking each other off over how right they are on brexit, masks and how everything isn’t their fault.

They use words like gammon and cockwomble and in general they're the most domesticated people you'll ever find. These are the same people who’s idea of “British culture” is just being a timid pussy who can’t deal with any amount of social conversation and drinking tea.

The very worst of sheltered Guardian readers who exist in this world of Waterstones pop-history and whatever pseudo-rebel moment is popular like Extinction Rebellion
