Thumbs Up Phase

A serious medical condition where someone does a thumbs up in every single picture for an extended period of time. Usually seen in 7th or 8th grade years, but in more serious cases it comes as late as their Freshman or Sophmore year of High School.

lindsay lohan phase

A time period during which someone in their teens and/or twenties (often female) starts dressing rebelliously and/or trashy, partying frequently, engaging in serious alcoholism and other hardcore substance abuse (cocaine, ecstasy pills, etc.), and racking up several misdemeanor (and sometimes even felony) charges for their behavior. The name "Lindsay Lohan phase" is a reference to former teen star Lindsay Lohan, who not only went through this phase for nearly 6 years in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but is arguably the most infamous person to go through such a phase. Though Lindsay Lohan is filthy rich and has nothing to worry about now that her days of being off-the-rails are over, non-celebrities that go through this phase aren't so lucky. The ones that don't die from their reckless behavior are often unable to get a good job once they've grown up due to their criminal record, even if it's been several years since they turned their life around. The answer to this problem is to remember that as much as your social life means to you, you have to make your future your number-one priority and say "no" to peer pressure.
Person 1: why has Lexi been so pissed off lately?
Person 2: She's in her late 20s and still can't get a stable, good-paying job because she went through a Lindsay Lohan phase in her early 20s.
Person 1: Damn, that must suck!

phase shark

In US Air Force tech schools, (as of the mid 2000s) there is a "phase" system, wherein the longer you have been in tech school, the more freedoms and privileges you have.

A "phase shark" is someone who hangs around with people in a lower phase than they are in the hopes of scoring with them when they finally have enough freedom to (reasonably and without breaking any laws) have sex. It is usually the guys who are guilty of phase sharking, due to them vastly outnumbering women in the military.

The term almost always has derogatory connotations. I suspect a lot of that comes from people who are jealous that they didn't think to start hitting on that hot 1st phaser sooner themselves.

It's somewhat akin to an upperclassman dating freshmen.

talking phase

the period in a relationship which lasts for an indeterminable amount of time in which the primary constituent of relations between the two (usually) parties consists of talking, and in which there is no sex; may lead to the friend zone
How long is the talking phase supposed to last before we can have sex? I'm afraid that I'm going to get stuck in the friend zone.

Post-Adolescent Idealistic Phase

The time after the pointless teen years in which a young person develops what are called "standards" and "morals." It is a time in which eyes are opened and "The Truth" suddenly becomes clear.

Usually beginning when one enters college, said young person reads deep literature, searches for the meaning of life, and listens to college radio, all the while secretly becoming even more confused than when he/she was an lame 16 year old.

The Post-Adolescent Idealistic Phase usually entails naive 18-20something year olds upholding hopeful, yet unrealistic morals. Often, utopian dreams can be confused for "The Truth."

After the phase has ended, the young person must beware becoming highly hypocritical and/or jaded once life has slapped them around a bit.
