Close Reading

When you heavily analyze someone’s Instagram post or general personal information to figure out who they are as a person/ what is going on.

Very similar to stalking but with an intellectual and analytical twist.

Like criminal minds- but taking it too far.
Friend 1 - Did you see Sam’s Instagram post?

Friend 2 - Yeah I did. It was so chaotic that I had to do a full close reading last night.

Friend 1- Did you hear that Ariana and Finn got back together again?

Friend 2- Wait what!? We need to close read this situation later so we can fully understand what is going on.

Uncontrollable Reading-Aloud

A condition in which the affected person will have a dying urge to read everything they see out loud.

This can become incredibly annoying.
A kid walks into a shop...

Kid: "Ooooh, SCREWDRIVER... Ooooh, PENCIL SHARPENER, Ooooh, THIS SIDE UP..."

Clerk: "Oh, another case of Uncontrollable Reading-Aloud..."

I'm riding that train, reading that book. . .

An expression which originated during a drunken late-nite discussion of the origins of expressions. It means, "I see what you're saying, where you're going with that."
Drunk person A: "Dude, you know what I mean?!"

Drunk person B: "Totally, Dude. I'm riding that train, reading that book."
