Get the MJ Brainmug. 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!

Co-worker (1): "I need the afternoon off, my brain fog is particularly bad today. I'm so tired I've left the banana on top of the what do you call it. I've never been the same since COVID"
Co-worker (2): ".... better keep my lips sealed - don't want to make her brain fog worse by inflicting a hate crime..."

Get the brain fogmug. The term "Smooth Brain" refers to someone unintelligent, or an action that could be classified as unintelligent. Neuroscientists believe that the more folds your brain has, the more surface area neurons have, thus, leading to higher intelligence. However, without these folds, there won't be as large of a surface area for your neurons, which leads to idiocy, or Smooth Brainedness.
"This buttery smooth brained idiot stuck a goddamn fork in the power outlet."
"That was the most smooth brained sentence I've ever stumbled across in my 25 years on this planet."

Get the Smooth Brainmug. When a person is obsessed with all dog breeds, and starts cooing over any dog they see walking the streets.

Get the puppy brainmug. The feeling you get when your mind is racing, each thought produces a new semi-related thought and you are unable to focus on any single thought. Much like the dialogue in the commercial for Microsoft's semantic search engine Bing.

Get the Bing-brainedmug. Hym "And the reason it's not actually parallel is thus: If you take me and a fat-cock and you cut both of our dicks off... One of us changes and the other does not. Also know as the dicktelligence false equivalence, the Dick/Brain parallel is not real."
