An everyday description of feeling muddled and cognitively slower than expected - normal really - but which following COVID has put on the clothes of medical parlance and has become one of the classic, "I feel it, so it is" non-sequiturs.
In reality, most of us are objectively less clever and sharp than we think, particularly as we age, or get promoted beyond our abilities. That's life, and there's plenty of evidence it's normal. But post 2020, as COVID brain fog exploded, unchallenged. Brain fog can now follow any unpleasant event outside our control, particularly when someone else might be to blame (workplace accident, illness, trauma). Post 2020, it is an unchallengeable pseudomedical term that describes the gap between what we want and the reality of what we are in a harsh and difficult world. Brain fog is perfect weather to hide in!

The practice of improving a microwave by creating a concoction in a large coffee jar of a few large turds; take a shit in the jar or scoop it in, the former is better than the latter as it doesn’t leave scoop marks. Then fill the jar with piss (you may need more than one person here unless you have a full bladder).
Put the lid on the jar and you have what looks like a preserved brain In formaldehyde.
Add to an enemy’s microwave, put on full power and walk away.
The resulting explosion will destroy the microwave and possibly the ceiling too.
Never buy a second hand microwave with burn marks on.

That landlord didn’t give me my deposit back so I popped an alien’s brain in the microwave and bid him a good day.

When you are so out of it that your brain feels like mush. As if you could stick a straw into your ear and slurp your brain out.
"I can't stop giggling right now. Major case of slurp brain."
"I'm so out of it."
"Slurp brain?"
"Yes, it's all mush up there right now"
"I'm so out of it."

Someone who is scattered all over the place. They had stuff all over the place and can't stick to one idea.
