Ikeamotion

The random wanderings of people who are trying to escape from Ikea. Its often fueled by swedish meatballs and cinnamon buns. Characteristics include bouncing off sofas with names like Umflaut then walking around in random circles; and stacking flat brown boxes on carts and careening down warehouse aisles.
I went to Ikea to buy a couch but then Ikeamotion hit and I could not figure out how to escape without buying a desk, two side tables and a bed.

IKEA

A magical big blue Swedish box responsible for most fights, break ups and injuries.
Me and my (Ex)wife went to IKEA this morning. We fought for hours and I hurt my toe from a flatpack shelf collapsing.

Ikeaphile

An Ikeaphile is someone who is addicted to the low cost, modern Swedish world of Ikea.
This person is prone to driving long miles to eat Swedish meatballs and may have an addiction to Lingonberry juice. There taste is in modern furniture with a European flare but not expensive and in better condition than items from other stores. Be very careful: Ikeaphiles will sometimes do and say anything to get lost in the giant blue store. They may carry around tape rulers and shopping lists in their pockets and complain where their shopping cart isn't four wheel drive.

ikea

A large Swedish-based furniture store that sells good quality, modern-styled furniture for much cheaper than most places due to their flat packaging and self-assembled furniture. Ikea stores are sprawling and decorated with an assortment of comfortable furniture arrangements that shoppers can test out, jump on, and go to sleep on. A nice place to shop for good quality and a cozy atmosphere.

Also has a Swedish-based food court, hot dogs, and makes a mean cinnamon bun.
Let's go to Ikea and buy a 6-pack of cinnamon buns and a sofa!
