Quarter-life crisis

The time when you reach your 20s and you realize that you have no money, no job, no properties, no credit (not enough) and no significant others.
Mom: What are you so depressed about? You are young and the future is out there!

Son: You don't understand. I'm in a quarter-life crisis.

Two completely opposite phases for a middle-aged person (40-50), usually a divorced man. Opposite phases can appear identical to those who do not know the man in question.

Cribiss

Someone's place of residence, house, home, apartment, dorm room, flat.
Derived from crib, just another sick way to say it.

netflixistential crisis

When you binge watch five or more seasons of a TV show which is no longer on the air, and question the very foundations of your life when the series is finally over.

A deep feeling of futility and depression.
"Louise why have you been laying motionless in bed for five hours."

"I finished the final season of Desperate Housewives and now I am having a netflixistential crisis"

quarter life crisis

The period in your life occuring between 20 and 30 years of age, when you realize that a quarter of your life is over and :

a) You've done nothing constructive with it

- AND -

b) You've set yourself up for another quarter just like it.

You may be experiencing a quarter life crisis if :

a) You ever ask yourself what the h*** you are doing with your life

b) You regret half of the last 10 years

c) You consider changing jobs/homes/partners/all of the above to somehow improve your life

d) You feel lost and confused 23.5 hours out of a 24 hour day

e) You wonder how you will ever find job security/afford a house at today's prices/find a partner if you're working all the time/get out of your parents' house if your debt is costing you every dime you make/afford rent while it keeps going up/find a job that pays the bills/pay off your debt/all of the above. Usually all of the above.

Often confused by kids with adolesence, puberty, or hormonal problems. Feeling "misunderstood" and dressing all in black is not a quarter life crisis - it is being a teenager.

Basically, you wake up one morning and think to yourself, "Man - I'm totally screwed." You then proceed to consolidate your debt, look for a better job, and spend more time sleeping - because when you're asleep, you don't have to worry about how screwed you are.
"Man, I've wasted the last 20 years. At least I'm not alone - everyone has a quarter life crisis."

crisis of the hole

The true crisis in Trump’s first formal televised speech of his administration which is that he is an asshole.
It is not a crisis of the heart or soul, or a crisis at the US border, but a crisis of the hole that is plaguing the United States.
