Dungeon Tan

Originally used to describe the pallor which developed amongst inveterate D&D players, it widened to include denizens of any stripe who resided in the basement of their parents. Most recently it is used to describe the complexion of any video game addict.

1978: His dungeon tan is proof enough that he is an indestructible wizard.
1998: "Yo, ghost boy ! Nice dungeon tan. I see that you gave up POGs for Magic Cards !"
2008: PlayStation and Xbox gave him the dungeon tan. But at least Wii gives him some muscle tone.

When you wake up with a sore neck from too much headbanging at the metal show the night before.

I went to the Slayer show last night and I woke up with a serious bang over after headbanging through the whole set. It was so brutal! SLAYER!!! \m/

potato shed

During the covid-19 pandemic, cruising houses on Zillow while stuck at home became a national pastime. Enter, Zillow Gone Wild. This Instagram account rocketed to popularity in 2020 for its snarky yet accurate descriptions of unusual real estate listings. A particularly opulent Dover, MA listing included, among other excesses, a fully stocked potato shed. It sold in 2021 for an eye-popping $13,250,000. Subsequent Zillow Gone Wild posts frequently reference "no potato shed" in their intros, meaning that it's great but there's still room for extra bling.

On today’s episode of You Never Know What’s Going On Inside A Home, Part 39.
