Cactusing

The action of holding both arms out in upside down 90 degree angles (like a cactus with upside down arms 🌵) during an awkward or uncomfortable situation when you don’t know how else to respond. Usually paired with an uncomfortable smile 🙃.

This is especially used by socially awkward people. Also known as: the awkward cactus

Cactuse

When someone must buckle down and do work before large exams, essays, or tests you would cactuse oneself. It is the imaginary act of shoving an unlubricated cactus up your ass hole.

This exam is going to be so hard, I really need to cactuse!

Cactuses

The correct and formal plural of cactus. While people often believe that the proper plural is ‘cacti’ they are actually wrong. The grammatically correct word is ‘cactuses’.

Cactuses

A common misconception is that this term is incorrect. Cactuses is a valid plural form of cactus. Yes, so is cacti and cactus itself.
