/currentyear/

A word used derisively to describe one's incredulity at some specific modern-day fact or event in society that:
1) No one asked for
2) Would have been viewed as totally ridiculous ten years ago
3) Is still totally ridiculous

"Yes, I know that bobby marrying his transgender goat sounds weird, but let's not forget that it's /currentyear/."

Person A: Did you hear that dogs are now considered racist?
Person B: No, but I knew that they would be, since every new day is peak /currentyear/.

We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal call-volumes

Bu**s**t!! This is merely what you **always** say when someone calls your help-line! You're just too cheap to hire enough customer-service reps!

Unless there actually was a recent major event like a power-outage or security-breach, DON'T BELIEVE IT if a company's caller-greeting recording says that, "We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal call-volumes; you may stay on the line and wait for the next representative, or you can leave a call-back number for one of our reps to return your call during this same business day, or you might want to try your call again later"... again, DON'T BELIEVE IT --- in all likelihood, this is merely what they ALWAYS tell ALL of their customers who call, no matter what time-period it is ! And whatever you do, DON'T THINK THAT "LEAVING YOUR NUMBER" WILL CAUSE THE COMPANY TO CALL YOU BACK... I have waited ALL THE REST OF THE DAY for a call-back, and the company **never** got back to me! The best thing to do, therefore, is to simply "stay on the line" to "keep your slot in the cue", even if it means a long wait... better to eventually get through than never reach a live person at all.

What currently has a positive verticality?

A nerdy way of saying "what's up?" Usually only used by nerds with at least some partial social skills. When used by a socially inept nerd, it will generally be spoken to one who wouldn't understand. This is commonly responded to with "The vast expansion of blue, or some sort of solid between it and myself"

Sheldon: "what currently has a positive verticality?"
Penny: huh?
Sheldon: I said, what currently has a positive verticality?. My god woman, can't you hear?
Penny: I meant, what did you mean by that?
Sheldon: well, since a positive value is...
Penny: Can I just say the sky?
:nerds in audience laugh:
Sheldon: Amazing, you were able to pick the right answer, though you forgot to mention the solids between it and us
Penny: Whatever, look, is Leonard home?
