Gayer than a box of California cranberries

adj. (slang, humorous, absurd)
1. Extremely flamboyant, over-the-top, or obviously gay in a way that’s both unexpected and undeniable.
2. Unnecessarily extra, fabulous, or theatrical, like a Broadway performance starring a drag queen dressed as a fruit salad.
3. A phrase that sounds like an old-timey Southern saying but was actually made up in 2025, yet somehow feels like it always existed.

Coined in 2025, this phrase randomly combines “gay,” “cranberries,” and “California” into something that makes no sense but feels right. Originally created as a joke, it has since confused, entertained, and baffled people across the internet.

Cranberry

The kind of fart that occupies its own zip code, that lingers well after said fart has been expelled. Inspired by the song "Linger" by the Cranberries, because everyone will wonder why the eff that fart had to linger. "Do you have to let it linger?"
I busted the worst cranberry at the bar last night and it cleared the entire room - it wasn't safe to return for 30 minutes! I even saw someone gag on the smell.

Cranberry Itch

Intense itching of the skin, often seen after working in the yard. Often in places in the yard where cranberries are known to grow. Most notably experienced by Ben Cranston when he can't reach his back.
Ben: Dang, I've got a bad case of the Cranberry Itch!

George: You've been out in the yard all day. Of course you got it.

Ben: (scoffs) Listen, Riker, don't do me this way. I need some calamine lotion, fast!

Liv: Ben, have you been in the Cranberry again? I told you you'd get Cranberry Itch if you go out there.

Ben: Yeah, and it's killing me. Scratch it for me, would you?
