valentine's guilt

The act of laughing, mocking, or otherwise messing with people who are alone on valentine's day, only later to realize your trying to get over how lonely you are on valentine's day

Joe mocked John on Valentine's day for being alone, then karma slapped him with some valentine's guilt, thus making him sad when he realized he was also alone

Architect’s Guilt

Very similar to Catholic Guilt in principle; but applied to emotionally driven architects who always feel the need to solve every problem, fall on every sword the project encounters, stay late at work and defer life and family events, and put work and worry first. The feeling of never working hard and king enough.

Honey, I have to stay late and work this weekend because I’m not sure the team is ready to release drawings for this project. You take the family on vacation to paradise and I’ll try and call you when I can. My architect’s guilt always ruins our family plans...

Guiltaccino

Fair trade coffee, ordered either as a result of self-inflicted guilt, or pressure from more socially conscious peers.

Pradeep: "YUM, I'm going to get the Gingerbread Latte..."
Anna: "But you can't get it with the Fair Trade blend..."
Pradeep: "Ewww. You want me to get a bitter Guiltaccino?"
Anna: (look of empathy for poor coffee farmers everywhere)
Pradeep: "Damn. A medium Ujama Mild please..."

Gamer's guilt

Gamer's guilt is the apologetic way that gamers talk about video games when they know other people are listening. They will shy away from in depth discussion or areas that sound nerdy and will change their tone in order to appear as if they are speaking about their beloved games in an ironic manner.

The root of gamer's guilt stems from the gamer's fear of being viewed in a sterotypical manner.

I keep trying to talk with John on the bus about call of duty but we can never talk properly because he gets really bad gamer's guilt.

guilt

(tr. verb) - The act of trying to manipulate someone by making them feel guilty. Note that this is a transitive verb, so that if John guilts Mary, then John is making Mary feel guilty.

Another variation on this is "to guilt (someone) into (something)".

Chris: Could you go pick up a 12-pack of beer?
Mike: Aw man, I'm too drunk to go. Kevin's coming over soon. Call him.
Chris: Well, OK, I guess I can wait. I'm cooking dinner for us after all, so I probably shouldn't drink any more right now.
Mike: Chris, come on --
Chris: So how's your job? You know, the one that you love and never would have gotten if I didn't send your resume to my friend Alice?
Mike: All right, all right, I'll go. Geez! You don't have to guilt me!

Jake: Goddamn it, I gotta go shoe shopping with my girlfriend. I promised I'd buy her a pair of Pradas.
Dan: Pradas? What the fuck is that?
Jake: Expensive-ass shoes.
Dan: What are you doing that for?
Jake: Eh, she guilted me into it because I forgot her birthday.
Dan: Sucker!
