Trigger Warning

A trigger warning is a phrase included before a story, video, picture, etc. It's used to warn people of triggering words or pictures. For example, if someone has PTSD or MDD, this could be posted if it uses suicidal thoughts, or a traumatic experience. Some people say this is for oversensitive people, but is actually very useful if the story/picture/video has actual triggering words/scenes/thoughts. Can also be abbreviated to TW.

warming fart

A hot fart let loose beneath the covers on a cold night, and then held there to fend off frostbite. Not to be confused with a warning fart.
Twas the night before Christmas,
So cold 'neath the sheets,
A warming fart flowed,
From my butt to me feets.

global warming denier

Deniers are phsychologically flawed individuals who actively deny the mainstream scientific viewpoint that the earth is warming due to the release of CO2 by the burning of fossil fuels. While 97% of climate scientists are in agreement and the evidence collected by use of the scientific method is indisputable, these people deny the reality through
confirmation bias reinforced by well funded oil company propaganda and disinformation. Social dominance orientation, system justification, and identity protective cognition define the denier. These are character traits that reinforce white male hegemony over the environment and reinforce social hierarchies, and are common in a strict father worldview where the children never learn to think for themselves. The pedagogy of the strict father is belief over facts, with a powerful “head” of the family, much like in a dictatorship where there is only one leader in charge. Denialism is also closely linked to hate groups, Golf, Nascar, country music, religious zealots, and much of middle America who have been brainwashed by AM radio, essentially using our public airwaves for free, to protect the profits of companies whose pollution could potentially end most of humankind. And the pope agrees.

trigger warning

A trigger warning is when something may make you feel emotional, like mad and upset
So at the start of a text, video, etc it my say 'trigger warning', it alerts the viewer that the content may make them feel ashamed, have a break down, etc.
the moral is that if you see trigger warning, just be prepared that your emotions may escape your mind :)
Example
If a video says trigger warning it may show suicide content, death content, racism, rape, etc

Couch Warming

A silly American adaptation of the customary house warming, where one lures his or her (mostly her) friends over with tasty delicacies and alcohol in hopes that they become inebriated as much as possible in order to break in the couch they happen to be sitting on...
Did you go to Michelle and Gino's Couch warming last night????

Yah.. I did. But it was weird Michelle seemed more concerned that I wasn't drinking my wine and that I was sitting on one pert of the couch for too long...
