Adult grounding

When a fully grown adult, typically in their late teens or upwards, who still lives at home with parents or family—often due to immaturity, lack of financial independence—being restricted to stay in for things like excessive drinking, bad behavior, etc.

Example: He came back home after three days drinking beer, and his mom told him he wasn't allowed to drink anymore—he had to stay in the house and not go out again. That’s a classic example of adult grounding.
Lee: Bruv, I invited Mike out, but he’s not coming out for some reason.

Frank: Yeah, his mum said he’s not allowed anymore. Last time he came home drunk and threw up everywhere. I think there’s a proper adult grounding going on, bruv. LOL.

Lee: LOL.

Remember my friend from high school who went to the international science fair, got really good grades, and went to the polytechnic school for college? Yeah, all he does now is post angry stuff on Facebook, play video games, and dick around at work now. Dude's got adult onset mediocrity.

Concerned Adult Brigade 

Often called "CAB" for short, the concerned adult brigade is any group of equally disgruntled people (usually 35 or older) united together for an absurd and often unnecessary cause. These are the people who run neighborhood watches, regularly attend PTA meetings, deem things "inappropriate", complain to authority figures, overreact on issues, chaperone parties, file noise complaints, call parents, actually check movie and game ratings, work at the FCC, and generally meddle in the affairs of the youth.

Members of the concerned adult brigade come in many forms though are recognizable by their running-for-senator hairstyles and "sensible" shoes. Almost always women.
Girl #1: "So I watched sesame street yesterday for no reason. I thought you said Katy Perry was gonna be on it!?"

Girl #2: "Ugh, she was! But the Concerned Adult Brigade saw her outfit and started bitching. So they pulled the episode off the air."

Accidental Adult 

An individual whose age indicates maturity but whose approach to life suggests otherwise.
Whenever my neighbor waters his shrubs, he wags the garden hose between his legs and waves to traffic. Total accidental adult.

I try not to laugh when children call me “Mr.” They have no idea I’m an accidental adult.
