A desperate sense of powerless that causes paralysis, internally.
A state in which one is restricted to watching their life without explicit control or influence, typically induced by forms of hypnosis. The person is inhibited from acting or speaking, thus unable to change their reality and instead watches like a spectator.
The feeling of sinking comes from the feeling of their life progression declining, slipping from their grip, going downwards. This causes such severe internalised distress that part of their conciousness becomes frozen/paralysed.
The term was made popular by Jordan Peele's 'Get Out', though often associated with the mirrored moral problems such as racism and slavery.

Jack's been using Meth for so long that he's powerless to change his own life. It's like he's been brainwashed, although no one can tell... He's in the Sunken Place.

Get the Sunken Placemug. It’s when you ask someone where they place their milk in the fridge. Top, bottom, middle shelf areas. If they answer top they are into tops and if they answer bottom they are into bottoms and if they answer middle they are switches.
Where’s your milk placed? The top, it has to be on the top. No it does not it goes at the bottom. Ok now I know, you’re a bottom. What did you jsut do? I just did something called milk placing.

Get the There’s no place like Gibraltarmug. A neighbourhood located in Brantford Ontario. Also know as “Southside” by the locals. According to police statistics it is the most violent neighbourhood in Canada. The area is controlled by gangs and thugs and it is rampant with drugs like heron and fentanyl and alcoholics which makes it turbulent. Extremely high murder rates as well as other violent and property crimes that involve constant shootings and stabbings make it a cesspool of crime. Most residents are felons so respect for authority and police is non existent which makes police avoid the area. On a ghetto scale of 1 to 10 eagle place is a 15.2.
