Great Wakering

The frantic search for something to read on the toilet when you're about to go.

I desperately had to go to the bathroom, but the Great Wakering set in and I had to hold it while I looked for a book.

The Great Perhaps

It was said by Francois Rabelais, and made more commonly known when mentioned by Miles Halter in John Green's "Looking for Alaska". It's a mystery about possibly the question of an existence of an afterlife, and The Great Perhaps sets the plot in motion.

"I go to seek a Great Perhaps." -F.R.
"That's why I'm going. So I don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps." -M.H.
Before you die... "It's The Great Perhaps!" -You

The Great Resignation

The Great Resignation is a phenomenon that describes record numbers of people leaving their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, often with no prospects lined up.

Associated with the trend is the anti-work movement (created in 2013) and the associated subreddit r/antiwork. Both experienced a boom in members and activity with the increase of job resignations over the course of the pandemic.

Sunday scaries again… My job pays shit and almost all my coworkers have COVID. Despite all these bills to pay, I have serious resignation ideation. I’m not alone though; everyone around me is quitting their jobs en masse due to The Great Resignation.

Fuck it! Tomorrow I’ll finally write "I Quit" on my nut sack in magic marker and show em to my boss. Give him the ole’ testicular resignation.
