Pavement Fairy

British Navy slang dating from around the First World War. A Pavement Fairy is the name for a prostitute or woman of easy virtue. The pavement part comes from these women having 'beats' on the pavement of a particular street, whilst the fairy has nothing to do with homosexualirty, but possibly derives from Cinderella's Fairy Godmother who makes wishes come true.
There's a rude version of the Irish folk song 'The Spanish Lady' that mentions it:

As I walked into Plymouth City,
Union Street it was late at night,
There did I see a pavement fairy
Washing her snatch in the pale moonlight,
First she washed it then she dried it
Over a fire of red hot coal
In all my life I ne'er did see
So much singed hair round a dirty great hole.
Joe's out on the razzle tonight, but he's goin' for the pavement fairy first before he gets too pissed.

North American Pavement Ape

A derogatory term for an American of African descent, typically who you would call "gangstas" and see in the "hood" or "ghetto." They are addressed as such since they spend most of their lives in the wild - mainly lurking in alleys and selling crack or mugging people. You can catch them off guard during the day by offering them grape soda.
Dude, did you see those niggers back there?

Be specific! Those are North American Pavement Apes!

pandemania

Pandemania is the general term for when a society has had enough of dealing with the effects of a lingering pandemic and it goes full-tilt! People are scared, loved ones dying, businesses shuttered, all the while politicians are quacking. It’s mania. It’s pandemania!

Pandemic Pussy

An individual who is afraid to do things outside of the house due to their fear of catching the VID. If these people do leave their homes, they generally wear a mask outdoors and sanitize their hands every 10 seconds.
My friend is too much of a pandemic pussy to go anywhere. I once saw him hiking in the woods miles away from the closest human and he still had a mask on. He even wears his mask in his sleep and bathes in purell

pandemicon

The Pandemicon is a contemporary surveillance assemblage. It emerges when a pandemic disease forces the State to use novel forms of governance and control, such as curfews, quarantines, health testing, tracking cell phone data, border closures, etc. The measures are not new, but they are only brought together in this way during a pandemic, and often outlive the disease itself.
Have you heard they track cell-phone data of bug-carriers and carry out mandatory testing in Singapore? Yeah...they've perfected the Pandemicon there.
