birthday envy

When someone is celebrating a birthday, there is always one person in the group who gets as drunk or drunker then the person celebrating the birthday. This is generally a result of hanging out with the birthday person the whole night and thus weaseling in on many free 'birthday drinks', while also buying their own drinks.

Bob: "Yo, did you see Steve last night .... guy was a mess"

Tom: "Yah man, he was drunker then me, and it was MY birthday"

Bob: "haha, yah man, definite case of birthday envy"

Tom: "definite!"

cellular envy

Getting jealous at that person with that swank new cell phone.

Cellular envy? Naaah, I'm quite fine with my old trusty Nokia. After all, I use my cell phone for communicating, for calling people. I like to keep things separated.

Downhill Envy

The phenomenon that outdoor runners may experience wherein one runner, while tackling a particularly daunting incline, crosses paths with a runner enjoying the downhill while traveling in the opposite direction. The uphill runner might inwardly direct strong feelings of jealousy toward the downhill runner's good fortune that can only come during the exhaustion and red-faced all-out effort of a literal uphill battle. This is downhill envy. In special circumstances, such as those in which the downhill runner offers audible or visual expressions of encouragement or solidarity, downhill envy may even manifest in the uphill runner's outward utterance of disdain at the downhill runner's perceived condescension.

Friend: Hey, how was your run?
Runner: I've had better. I was trying to haul ass up this one particularly vicious incline, but it was a serious struggle. What made it worse was this guy happily bounding down the hill in the opposite direction.
Friend: Damn. Downhill envy.

Runner: Mmm hmm.

Lookout Envy

Stinging ping of failure that the bands from the 90's Wave of "Lookout! Records" Pop Punk bands express, at their loss of fame, compared to the success of acts like Green Day and Rancid, while continuing to propagate the facade that they are legitimate and valid "rock stars".

While watching the Trump rally today on FOX, Green Day came on during a Pepsi commercial, and Ben spent the rest of the day pining with "Lookout Envy.""

Valor envy

The yearning for a noble cause to fight for, resulting from growing up in a generation spoiled by first-world luxuries, and thus filling the absence of real existential threats and social injustices with imagined ones, typically naming them after history's most notorious evils, racism and Nazism, and desperately trying to identify oneself with the same righteousness as those who fought actual evil.

Antifa hooligans like to pretend they're revolutionaries, but really they're just spoiled brats with valor envy.
