Whores-Race

n. (pejorative, sometimes misogynistic) (wordplay on "horse-race")
A derogatory term describing a perceived competition among two or more women in public spaces, characterized by the pursuit of negative attention or infamy. Such behavior may manifest through the adoption of controversial, cruel, or unpopular stances on social or political issues, or through actions reflecting dishonesty, manipulation, or unkindness. The term is often used to criticize individuals deemed to exhibit poor character, though its application can carry misogynistic undertones.

Example: "The heated exchange devolved into a whores-race, as each speaker vied to outdo the other with increasingly divisive rhetoric."

Reel Racing

An addictive pastime involving Instagram Reels (and similar short-form apps) where you convince yourself “just one more reel” won’t hurt… until three hours vanish and your thumb has run a marathon.

“Bro, I was supposed to study, but I ended up reel racing for two hours straight.”
