Standard shock

The weird mixture of surprise, resentment and anxiety you get when someone mentions having standards that are a lot higher than your own.

“I’m not exactly a great student,” John said.

“Neither am I,” Steven replied. “I feel really average — my GPA is only 3.48!”

John, whose GPA was 2.1, had a standard shock. He didn’t want Steven to think he was a dumbass, and so changed the subject of the conversation.

“How much do you bench?” Andrew asked Ryan.

“Hmm, not much at all. 220 pounds,” Ryan said.

Andrew, who could only lift 160 at best, had a standard shock.

“Yeah, I’m getting there but at the moment I can just do 210,” he replied.

Pixel-Shock

The shock of finding, upon revisiting a retro game, that your memory has mistakenly rendered the old game in modern graphics.

"I played Legend of Zelda for the first time in like 20 years this weekend. Talk about pixel-shock, I'd remembered the game like a painting and it looked like Pac-Man."

Bowel Shock

A shit so terrible it requires both physical and emotional recovery

"I undercooked my dinner. My shits were so terrible I curled up in a ball afterwards and just stared at my lamp."

"Classic bowel shock... you want a hug?"
