NFTY withdrawl

A feeling of loss, sadness, loneliness or emptiness following a NFTY event.

Not being able to look at pictures on facebook without bursting into tears.

The fear of listening to "Save Tonight" or "Wonderwall" in front of your friends because you don't want to break down and cry.

Wearing your NFTY shirt so much that the letters begin to fade.

mom- sweetie what's wrong?
girl- NFTY is over for the year.
mom- well why don't you come down to dinner.
girl- i don't feel like doing anything right now.
mom- must be going through NFTY withdrawl.

spouse without benefits

noun: a heterosexual companion of the opposite sex with whom one spends a great deal of time and shares a deep level of comfort but has no intimate relations. Usually both members in a without benefits union are single. The relationship is also often characterized by sarcasm and other behaviors typical to a married couple who have been together many years.

I can't find a date to bring to the BBQ, so I will bring my spouse without benefits.

Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome

Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome (aka MWS) occurs when a Minecraft player (see Minecrafter) dies in a cave via zombie invasion, spider attack, skeleton sniping, or even creeper terrorism and loses all of his ores/tools/weapons/armor/materials and respawns above ground, forcing him to go back into the maze of a cave system. If said Minecrafter dies a second time, then a third, before finding his items, a feeling of hopelessness comes into the mind. The Minecrafter then withdraws away from the game (something very difficult to do) for 1 hour to two months, depending on the items in the Minecrafter's inventory.

Tom: "Hey Dan, why are you looking so down? Got Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome?"
Dan: "I just lost my diamond armor in Minecraft."
Tom: "Dude, that's harsh. How long have you been off?"
Dan: "Three years."

i went to amsterdam without you

This term is used when you are secretly gay and went with your "girlfriend" to Amsterdam. In this trip you are very sad because you are also in love with your supposed "mortal enemy", so in your time in Amsterdam with your girlfriend you were thinking about your "mortal enemy". This is a sad term.

Louis(via Always You): "I went to Amsterdam without you and all I could do is think about you💚💙"
