Drankened

When you have drank something.

"I have drankened it in the past"

Druckered

The tragicomic state of being royally, undeniably, and spectacularly fucked over twice by the same person, entity, or fate — with just enough time between each betrayal for you to foolishly rebuild trust, regain hope, or refinance your soul.

“I joined ByteBlimp fresh out of grad school—bright-eyed, full of ideas, and drinking the kombucha-flavored Kool-Aid. A year in, the company got bought out by GigaTech, who promised ‘minimal restructuring’ and then fired half the team and replaced our open office with beanbags and buzzwords. I stuck it out, climbed the ranks, even got my own clicker for boardroom presentations. Five years later, just as I’d paid off my student loans and dared to dream about a mortgage, GigaTech sold us—again—to our arch-nemesis, DigiShark Inc. They walked in, shut down our projects, and handed me a severance check that looked suspiciously like a gift card to Chili’s.

That’s when I knew—I’d been Druckered. And this time, with interest.
