Get the fame delay mug.Definition:
A clinically under-recognized but scientifically supported neurocognitive condition wherein an individual experiences delayed mental cloudiness, executive dysfunction, and profound existential inertia—typically manifesting on Monday mornings following the consumption of a CFR (Chicken Fillet Roll) on the previous Friday.
Background & Scientific Basis:
First identified in 2021 by researchers at the Cognitive Nutrition and Behavioral Lethargy Institute (CNBLI), DORF has since gained traction in neuroscience and workplace productivity circles. Controlled studies show a strong correlation between Chicken Fillet Roll ingestion—particularly those loaded with taco sauce, cheese, stuffing, and regret—and reduced prefrontal cortex activity after a 48–72 hour latency period.
Unlike immediate food comas, DORF strikes silently, lying in wait until Outlook meetings begin.
Peer-reviewed findings (J. Murphy et al., 2025):
119% of office workers who consumed a CFR on Friday reported "mild to catastrophic" fog by 9:45 a.m. Monday.
EEG scans revealed dips in frontal lobe activity similar to that of sleep-deprived raccoons.
Participants were 459% more likely to start an email with “I'm currently out of office…” and forget what they were circling.
Common Symptoms:
Cognitive lag between tabs
Repeating passwords like incantations
Scrolling SharePoint in existential freefall
Detachment from KPIs
Reheating the same coffee… again

Sorry I blanked during that budget review — full-blown Delayed Onset Roll Fog (DORF). Friday’s CFR hit harder than expected.

- "Why isn't this car moving out, they've been finished for 5' now!"
- "They probably do a smart delay start! Honk at them! Or wait until they've finished texting."
