Get the maleist mug.Monitor malaise can take two forms.
1) Falling into a stupor after staring at a particular document on your monitor for long periods. You know this has occurred when you realize you're reading every sentence two or three times, or your face has become hot and red where you've been resting it on your hand, or you've drooled on yourself (and this last is not a normal occurrence for you).
2) A feeling of being overwhelmed or confined to your desk (see stir crazy). You've been staring at the same project on your monitor for so long that you'll use any excuse to escape, even when you know that you should continue working.

1) The phone rang, snapping me out of my monitor malaise and nearly giving me a coronary.
2) Even though my project was due in half an hour, I couldn't concentrate; severe monitor malaise. Walking Vicki to her car was the perfect remedy (even though it took 2 hours).

"Well, we need some opposition to feminism!" – "No we don't. We need social justice. Maleism is based on the idea of men's superiority. We need feminism, anti-racism, anti-classism." – "But men suffer too!" – "Yes they do at some points, and it'd be great of you to campaign against that. But neither feminism nor women are to blame. Take some responsibility, fight you own fights, be an ally to whoever is truly disadvantaged in a given society."

Get the monitor malaise mug.The period from 1972 to 1996 (some would even say it ran all the way to 2008) where American car companies were making cars that were just awful. At first it was simply because the feds had enacted strict emissions regulations thanks to skyrocketing oil prices, but after those were lifted in 1983 the problem was simply lazy design and shittacular build quality.
People wonder why Japan and Germany took over the car market, well, just look at the shitboxes we were putting out during the malaise era and there's your answer.
