Zoom effect

When you see your friends/family/classmates/partner online through Zoom or another video call platform frequently, but still feel as though you miss them dearly because you haven't been in person with them. They also probably live across town it down the street.

I really miss my best friend, but I see her in our online class everyday. I must be experiencing the Zoom effect.

zoom face

The look on someone’s face after having been on a Zoom/Google Meets meeting for way too long. Usually twitchy, blood-shot eyes, intent on murdering the next person who says hello to them.

Me: (on a walk) Hey Jackie hows your day been?
Veronica: Go kick rocks jackass! (Storms off)
Me: oh crap, I should’ve known she was tilted from that Zoom Face she was rocking.

Zoom Baby

A newcomer, usually a millennial, whose recovery began at the onset of COVID-19 restrictions mid-March of 2020 and has progressed exclusively in virtual reality, primarily on the Zoom platform.

After a year in COVID lockdown, our first ever Zoom Baby is celebrating one year of recovery without ever having attended an in-person meeting, a truly remarkable feat.

Zoom me

Taking the place of "call me", "text me", "email me", etc.

I guess you'll need to Zoom me, because this is life now. I hate this life so much.

Zoom Roulette

When attending school via Zoom University students are often divided into small break-out rooms for discussion and activities. Generally, students have no damn clue who the hell is going to be in their room. Is it their friends who they'll just talk shit with and have a good time? Is it the ass clown student who will insist everyone talks? Perhaps an SJW who terrifies everyone into silence? It's a game chance known as Zoom Roulette, and you won't know until you spin the wheel, toss to ball, and press "Enter Break Out Room".

"Oh shit, they're putting use in break-out rooms, I can't handle anymore zoom roulette"
"Bro, I lost zoom roulette again and got stuck with Toby who insisted we all talk, FML"

multi-zooming

I think I'll do some multi-zooming and get all my laundry folded during my 9:00 meeting.

Zoom Baby

A term of endearment describing a spanking new member of Alcoholics Anonymous, usually a millennial, whose sobriety has been achieved entirely in virtual reality, mostly on the Zoom platform.

We are happy to present 30 day chips to a couple of recent Zoom Baby members.
