cyclical rumination

The constant pondering over and over again about an issue and not doing anything to resolve it.

Verbal cyclical rumination - do something about it (ie put something into action) or stop verbalising it coz I don't wanna hear about it again.

"You have to do something about this cyclical rumination, its not healthy, act on it!"

ruination fools

People who ruin your evil plans due to their incompetence and stupidity. Invariably uttered by the evil villain at the end of the movie to his minions as he realizes his evil plans have failed yet again and the hero has emerged triumphant.

"Ruination fools!" screamed Dr. Evil to Numbers Two and Three as his balloon laden with killer gas begins to fall to the ground premature because his underlings miscalculated the weight of the contents.

Post-Interaction Idealistic Rumination

The process of ruminating on what one should have done or said in an interaction that just transpired or transpired earlier. During PIIR the individual typically undergoes feelings of self-abuse, anger, and/or embarrassment.

"Dude, I could have earned way more brownie points with Paige had I just tried to be more flirty. Now she probably thinks I'm a wank or thinks I’m not interested in her. Wait. Shit, SHIT! I gotta snap out of this PIIR."
"You're not a wank. And what's PIIR?"
"Post-Interaction Idealistic Rumination."
"That's quite a mouthful."
"Indeed."

or:

"I just agreed to go to church every Sunday morning with my neighbor. What the shit was I thinking?! I should have told him I'm busy literally every Sunday morning! #Fuckmylife."
