glomming

A practice commonly used at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by men desiring female companionship. Due to the lopsided demographics (75% men, 25% women), one finds a dearth of women at Caltech. Thus, several men tend to court a woman at once. So, glomming refers to the practice of several men hooking onto (not literally) to one woman.

At a dance, one can find several men dancing with one woman. They are glomming her. Or, one might find several men walking to class with one woman. These men are glomming.

Glooming

The dishonorable act of developing a thunderous rain cloud of depression upon others Facebook news feeds. Carried out by posting life/love questioning quote statuses, lyrics/poems, and music videos.

Man, bro Tommy keeps glooming up my feed. One more Dashboard Confessional video and he's getting deleted( that was the fifth one today and he the only one liking them).

fret-gloating

Fretting over a perfect decision that will remove one from an already perfect present. Tends to elicit unfettered gloating once the decision is determined to have been the right choice. Fret-gloating typically appears in social media status posts. Although disguised as fretting, fret-gloating is a double down on bragging.

Allison is fret-gloating in her social media posts again. "Our yearlong vacation to Paris is rapidly approaching just while my garden is looking incredible! Wondering if we're making the right decision?"

Gleaming the Cube

Is is American English skateboarding slang for performing well -- what is known in automobile slang as "firing on all cylinders", in tennis slang as "being in the zone", or perhaps in martial arts as having "mind, body, and soul" in harmony.

"I couldn't believe it when he landed that 720 heelflip coming off the half-pipe and went straight back down again - he was really gleaming the cube today!"
