never show the burn card

The card that blackjack dealers (among other casino games) discard during active play. Showing the card after a hand is considered poor etiquette as the card could have changed the outcome of the hand in the player's favor. The same principle applies to a girl telling a guy, who likes her, (or vice versa) that he would've had a chance with her, had certain circumstances were in affect. Making a heartbreaking outcome even more devastating.

Jack: "Hi, Jill. Would you like to go out this weekend?"
Jill: "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
Jack: "Oh, I didn't know. No problem."
Jill "Yea we're talking about getting married. But you're totally awesome. If I didn't have a b/f, I woulda SOOOO gone out with you."
Jack: "Sweetie, never show the burn card."

post-show depression

when you finish a play or a musical and you feel like absolute shit afterwards. you have time to realize that your entire schedule was rehearsal, rehearsal, and more rehearsal. and you also realize that you have no life outside of theatre. im going through it right now, and theres been lots of crying, reading the script, reciting lines over the phone with the other leads, things like that. its emotional.

Friend- Hey, Erin, what's wrong?
Me- Oh, nothing... Just post-show depression
Friend- You do this after every show you're in.
Me- -nods sadly-

Post-Show Depression

You auditioned. You got a callback. You made it into the show. You rehearse for months, making amazing memories with your friends, who became your second family. You threw absolutely everything you had into this musical. You fell in love with the music score, and knew everyone’s lines and said them across the wings to your friends. The performance came, and you did amazing. Everyone loves it, you felt as happy as ever. The curtain falls for the last time. You turn around and see your best friends, with tears in your eyes. Your heart sinks. You have an after party, which mainly consists of crying and hugging. You go home and sit on the couch. The next day, you don’t go to any rehearsals. You lie in bed and cry, while texting your theatre friend that you miss them already. You read the script again and again, and you watch the film while performing the show in your living room. You wish you could do it again. This lasts days, weeks or months for some people. It’s hard. Really hard. And only theatre people understand what I mean.

I miss our show soooo much. I have so much post-show depression.

Post show depression

A form of depression caused by uncontrolled feelings, leading to hopelessness and loneliness. Often originates from the end of a much-rehearsed performance. It may be acute, or it may last until the next set of rehearsals start. Usually, it involves walking offstage and into a metaphorical vat of frozen herrings topped with sour relish, which will symbolize your view of life until the depression has passed.

-Why are you covered in metaphorical frozen herrings?
-I have post show depression.
-Well, you can't leave the music field, Elvis. Guess you'll have to wait this thing out.
