Political Culture Shock

A social situation that arises when an individual moves to a new location they have not previously lived in and finds that the political climate from where they previously lived and the political culture of the new area they moved into are completely different from each other. Some issues that accompany this situation include anxiety, discomfort, identity conflicts, homesickness, confusion, frustration, anger, language barriers, generational differences in terms of views on various political topics, and differences in terms of where, when, and how people in that area think about and discuss politics.
Kailani: What’s wrong with that guy in corner? He seemed to be very anxious when I was speaking to him about politics and does not seem to be very mindful of his tone when speaking about his views.

Sarah: I think he moved here three to four weeks ago; he is probably suffering from political culture shock. He is probably struggling to get used to the political climate around, which it may take him a while to get used to it.

Kailani: I see.

Post-orgasm Shock

The shock experienced when one re-enters reality immediately after having an orgasm. It's characterized by a lack of sexual desire and a renewed fear of getting caught masturbating/having sex.
I didn't realize my brother was in the room next-door until I had my post-orgasm shock. He must of heard me masturbating.

Me: (slows down penetration)
Sally: Come on!! Harder!!
Me: Sorry I already had my orgasm, so I now lack motivation to keep on going! And plus, the bed is squeaking really loud!

shock and awe

This describes the feeling you get when you get mad at something, then later have no harsh feelings towards it, such as a video game.
"Dude, i was playing Halo 2's single player campaign, i was about to beat the level, when an elite came from behind me and killed me. I was so mad i through my controller out the window. A few hours later, i played the game as though this event never happened, and i was happy. It was like some form of shock and awe.
