Emotional Labor

A feminist notion that emotions are somehow hard work, and that they should be financially compensated for them. Men don't seem to have a problem being nice to people, and are rightfully perplexed when women use this term.

Given the amount of emotions a normal woman has every few minutes, about virtually everything, emotional labor seems to be an oxymoron.

"Omg, Brad's such a bad manager, he doesn't recognize all the emotional labor I put in, trying to be nice to customers all the time!"

emotional chiropractor

A professional who specializes in a system of therapy that involves treating the patient, often suffering from a personality disorder, with a dose of common-sensical advice aimed at adjusting said character flaws. This is usually done by questioning their motivations and career/financial goals while refraining from practicing negative reinforcement or punishment. Most patients resist and therefore continue down their current destructive path. Coined by Superfan Giovanni Giorgio on the Adam Carolla Show(1/17/13).

Adam Carolla: Hey Tara, when you screen the calls for tonight's Loveline, can you limit the suicide ones, please?

(Tara laughs while watching "The Simpsons" on TV)

Adam Carolla: HEY!! Let's focus. You've got a job to do. Now I was saying I'd like less-

Tara: You're not my boss!!

Adam Carolla: Whoa, someone's in desperate need of an emotional chiropractor.

Emotional 

To evoke an extreme 'emotion'.
Tends to lean towards positive emotions but can refer to negative emotions as well. In slang terms however it only refers to abstract objects or experiences that the common use of emotional would never be used to define.

Reached it's peak in London vernacular around 2015.

'That jacket is emotional' - Correct
'That sandwich was emotional' - Correct

Emotional Cuck 

When you're beyond friend zone with a woman you'd like to sleep with. Women tell you all details of their life including their sexual experiences and it puts you in an intense sense of depression.

Brad has been an emotional cuck to all of his female friends for weeks now.

emotional tampon 

Something only women are capable of, and evil enough to do. They fool poor insecure men into thinking they are recieving affection when they never will. They are often used as pillows for tears, or little "I lost my boyfriend and I'm grieving him" dolls. If this happends to you, just tell them to fk off.

John says "This bitch just lost her boyfriend. I think she likes me because she's holding my hand and it feels nice"

Dave says "Haha you're such a loser you emotional tampon! Get a life!"

Then John cries.
