existential threat

Something that will destroy humanity and even the Earth. This is often pushed by the media to get everybody paranoid for ratings.

An existential threat can be a nuclear Holocaust that never happens.

Existential Crisis

An 'Existential Crisis' is when an individual questions the entire meaning of life itself and wonders if being alive even has a point. This gets in the way of everyday things such as, eating cereal, listening to the next step soundtrack on repeat and being vegan.

'she ruined my holiday!'
'don't worry about it Richard, she just had an existential crisis'

Existential Crisis

Obsessively looking for answers, not knowing why you exist, looking for the meaning of life and your reason to be here on Earth.

"My best friend of 5 years told me he was an existential crisis.. I simply asked my therapist what I should have answered.. His response, "Run!"

Existential Tourettes

Nervous or paranoid tics resulting in an overwhelming desire to yell or inability to control anger aimed at those who don't appreciate the gravity of serious matters that cause the rest of humanity to suffer as a result.

During the pandemic, John let existential tourettes get the better of him when he shouted at a crowd of people not wearing facemasks, "God d****t, this is why we can't have nice things, you f*****s!"

existential nincompoop

A technical philosophical term coined by a great philosophy professor
1) One that is completely and utterly ignorant to their existential worth.

2) A person that does not allow for existential growth due to their lack of understanding of either themselves or of the necessity

Maxwell is such a nihilist, he doesn't get out of bed all day, he doesn't contribute to society in any way. He is SUCH an existential nincompoop.
