falling into a wiki hole

I was looking up the date of the Pearl Harbor attack but ended up falling into a wiki hole and next thing you know, it was 2 hours later and I was learning about ancient feudal Japan.

mixed feelings

The technical phrase for mixed feelings is cognitive dissonance, as used by psychologists. This is the mental state or attitude of having contradictory or opposing desires, wants, needs, thoughts, etc.

*The worst kind of mixed feelings one can experience is with someone who they have strong affection for, but that person behaves contrarily towards the other person's desires,wants, needs, thoughts, etc. This leaves the person in an extremely tough situation of constant emotional distress, not knowing of whether to stick with the other person or to leave.*
Person 1: Man, I just don't know what to do, or what I want to do. I mean, I really like her, it just doesn't ever continue on with her side. I keep getting shot down. The feelings I have from her are just from me.
Person 2: Looks like a case of mixed feelings. You need to find some else, someone that cares about how you feel.

The Feeling

"The Feeling" refers to a type of second-hand embarassment one gets in awkward situations. You may have to look away, walk away or ignore to get rid of the uncomfortable tension in your stomach.
Nerds making out and canoodling in public may give you "the feeling."

If someone tells a story with too many graphic details in front of your boss or parent, you may get "the feeling".

If someone tells a corny joke or anecdote, you may get "the feeling". Same goes for over romantic, nostaglic, or schmaltzy sentiments.

If someone falls, farts, or makes a fool of themself and you are directly next to them, you may get "the feeling."

Falling Freak

One of those lunatics who thinks that skydiving or base jumping or bungee jumping or any other sort of "falling-to-your-death-but-not-really" activity is cool.
Hey, let's go down to the bridge and untie the Falling Freaks when they jump off!

I don't hate Falling Freaks; I just don't like scraping them off of my driveway.
