past period

A phrase presumably used to mean "recent past." This is a phrase that has been around for a very long time (at least since the 1920's or 30's, probably longer) but is such an underwhelming turn of phrase that comes off as simultaneously pompous and pretentious, that in the year 2023 no one has yet bothered to even enter it into Wiktionary or any other online dictionary. So its time has come, and it is now being entered into one of the greatest dictionaries to grace humanity with its presence. :-)

Arnold Rimmer (character in the TV show Red Dwarf): "It happened in the past period."
Lister: "Past period!? Rimmer, English speakers don't speak like that."

e-period

It is when your electronic devices, or an electronic assistant behaves as if they are menstrual. The assistant is looking up bizarre search topics and not really hearing the commands clearly, or sending text messages to your friends and family that make little to no sense.

"Send a text message to Fran." "Ok what would you like it to say?". "I'm running a few minutes late, wait for me." "Ok text message says: I'm running great, fleas will be. Shall I send it?" "No." "Ok I'll send it."
