Sunken Place

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.

Cool places

I want to got to cool places with you
I want to take you cool places tonight
I want to go where nobody's a fool
And no one says uh, "Hey girl, need a light?"

I want to move like this and that
A minimum of chit chat
I never want to cool down, cool down, cool cool cool,
Cool places tonight

I gotta tell you, you're lookin' real good
They let us in so I'm feelin' all right
I like to go where sometimes they refuse
Yeah, I remember last Saturday night

But I'm feeling cooler now
And they could tell we're cooler now
It's obvious we're cooler now, cooler now, cool cool cool,
Cool places tonight

Chorus
I want to go, I want to go, etc.
I want to go to cool places tonight
I want to go to cool places with you

And after that we'll slip out for a bite
A coffee shop, and toast, coffee and juice
And then we'll sleep 'til 5 p.m.
And start it up all over again
I never want to cool down, cool down, cool cool cool

Chorus

The place

"The place" is the mental state where one simply wants to curl up under a blanket in a dark room and sleep for hours. To be in "the place" is to be that special kind of demotivated, tired and anxious that makes you want to avoid responsibility and the rest of the world in favor of a cozy cave.

Friend - "It's 7am, let's make coffee and go on a hike!"
Me - "That sounds great but I'm in the place right now, can we do it tomorrow?"

There’s no place like Gibraltar

An oftentimes sarcastic phrase used to mockingly state how great somewhere is when in reality it is the opposite.

‘Hey man, how was your trip home?’

‘Oh you know how it is, nothing going on back there’

‘There’s no place like Gibraltar amirite’

Milk placing

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.
