social distancing chicken

When people walking toward each other on a sidewalk deliberately refuse to alter their paths in a game of chicken, usually resulting in one party stepping aside at the last minute to avoid violating social distancing boundaries.

When our eyes met from behind our masks, I knew we were about to play social distancing chicken.

Social distancing

What you claim to do when someone is into you, but you want to avoid them and not be rude.

Sorry I can't hang out tonight, I'm actually practicing social distancing.

Social Distancing

Politically correct (aka Newspeak) term for "physical distancing". You're not actually distancing yourself socially. Social distancing is actually distancing yourself from society and being less social. We're not doing that here in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

"Social Distancing" is a term that sounds so cringeworthy and almost politcally euphemistic.

Social Distanced Stroll

SDS. A COVID-19 first date. A meet-up walk during Covid times where you have awkward masked conversation at six feet apart and spend the entire time wishing the walk were over.

I meet Gen for an Social Distanced Stroll today. We walked in circles at six feet apart for two hours. I could not understand a word she said through her mask and my glasses were fogged the entire time. Lovely woman but that was hell. We agreed to meet up post Covid.

graceful distancing

breaking up without the traditional negative actions and emotions of anger, jealousy, rage, depression, down-rapping the ex, burning things they left at your house, calling up the new gf/bf and screaming at them. Breaking up without sacrificing the friendship.

A friendly uncontested divorce - where the individuals do not need lawsuits and TROs - is an example of graceful distancing.

My husband Jim and I are graceful distancing, but we are not divorced yet. He moved out without any screaming or blaming. We are still friends.

We split the weekends with the kids. We both go to parent teachers conferences. We each kept our retirement accounts. I asked for child support but no alimony.
We still do Thanksgiving & Christmas and birthdays together with the kids, and we have talked about integrating our new lovers next year.

Social distancing "x"

The "x" placed on the floor of banks and stores in the wake the covid19 Corona virus pandemic of the year 2020. It is usually tape and spaced 6 feet apart to minimize the spread of the virus.

Get your ass on that social distancing "x" or a store employee who thinks he's the police/security will remove you from the establishment.

social dis-tance

Disrespect for the need for social distancing, conveyed by inadequate intervals.

Nobody was dying, the so-called 'virus' was elite liberal propaganda, and to show his feeling about social dis-tance he was marching shoulder-to-shoulder with other "Reopen America" geniuses, waving swastikas and Trump banners, blocking ambulances, breathing in each others' faces.
