The protective discomfort that comes from viewing pre-Covid television shows and movies through the lens of currently necessary social/physical distancing and mask-wearing. Feeling distracted or distressed by characters that share food and drinks, talk closely, don't distance or wear masks.
I had a hard time turning off my Covid filter when watching Dirty Dancing. Everybody was just too close together and breathing each other's air.

A.k.a. "mustache". Refers to where you are imbibing Pure Leaf tea or other liquid-libation which contains yucky dregs that you'd just as soon not hafta gag down while quenching your thirst, and so you angle your head back and slowly pour the beverage onto your mustache so that your Fu Manchu bristles catch most of the drink's offending particulate while allowing the refreshing liquid part to seep down through your upper-lip caterpillar and into your open mouth. Depending on the quantity and concentration of said sludgy sediments, you may need to pause frequently to wipe off the accumulated residues from your 'stache with a paper towel, but this minor inconvenience is small potatoes compared to the acute tongue/throat discomfort of having to actually ingest said stringy/gelatinous goo along with your flavorful fluid!
Utilizing your facial-fur filter takes some practice, but just like the upper-lip valve method of swigging your bottled whistle-wetter, this technique can indeed be perfected through careful and frequent employment, and allow you to guzzle your drink "cleanly"; i.e., without gagging or spilling anything on your shirt.

A simple tool to make sure that any important e-mail that from a sender you have not previously whitelisted will be hidden from sight, while most of the emails that still make it to your inbox will still be spam.
A device that saves no one any time if you want to catch all of your important mail from non-white listed senders, because you still have to manually search through all of the spam to check for the important e-mails within.
If the post office implemented a similar spam filter, your tax refunds and stimulus checks would not be delivered and unless you went in person to the post office to check through your spam, it would be put into the shredder after 30 days.

- Sorry, I didn't get your e-mail because my spam filter blocked it.
- Thank you for calling tech support. You were sent the license key. Please check your spam folder and change your spam filter settings to whitelist us.
- My spam filter blocked the job offer letter I got from the company and when I called them back 5 days later they already filled the position.

A small joint in which a filter is rolled and marijuana is put in the tip of the filter and hit like a one hitter. Reported to get the average person higher than normal because of the close contact of the marijuana to the mouth. The shorter distance allows less THC to be wasted, hence the reason a filter is used.

Visibility Filtering, or VF, is a doublespeak term for shadow banning. It is the act of reducing the amount of views a post gets on social media by the company that owns the platform. Examples are: blocking searches of individual users; limiting the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; blocking select users’ posts from ever appearing on the “trending” page; and from being included in hashtag searches.
“Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool,” one senior Twitter employee told us.
