Shaking off the Doom

Detoxing from any drug, but especially alcohol. The mentally and physically uncomfortable (and potentially fatal) withdrawal process which accompanies ceasing the use of one's drug of choice on one's own, i.e. without medical assistance.

"Shaking" refers to the "tremors" (shaking uncontrollably) which accompany this process.

"The Doom" refers any and/or all of the following: 1) the consistent and delusional feeling that something horrible and unstoppable is on the verge of occuring; 2) the "shadows", i.e. visual hallucinations which are the result of "delirium tremens" and/or insomnia; 3) the existential dread, terror, and regret concerning the very real possibility of death from withdrawal; and/or the intense nausea which causes one to be unable to "keep anything down."

Shaking off the Doom does not necessarily incapacitate, in that someone could, for example, still go to school or work while being in the process of it. Oftentimes, however, it is, temporarily, physically and mentally crippling. The Doom is shaken off when one is able to resume normal functioning.
Person 1: "Are you ok? You look like death!"

Person 2: "Yeah, I'm just shaking off the Doom. I've been drinking hard for three weeks straight, but ran outta money and booze."

Doom Looper

Someone who relentlessly watches the same TV series or show over and over again on a "loop of doom" until they can recite the entire script off memory, whilst simultaneously claiming that all current TV offerings are sub-par and not worthy of their attention.
Friend of Doom Looper; Have you seen that new show on Netflix that just came out?

Doom Looper; Nah, it sucks.
Friend of Doom Looper; But you havent seen it?
Doom Looper; I'm currently watching "The Office" for the 645th time.

Friend of Doom Looper; You're a Doom Looper.

Doom Patrol

A show that is ruined by all the PC bullshit, for example, Jane sometimes being a feminazi fuckwad.
Random Guy 1: Hey, have you watched Doom Patrol?
Random Guy 2: Oh, you mean that PC, Feminist, LGBTQ shit show that represents everything wrong with today's society?

Random Guy 1: Yeah...

Doom Looping

Perpetually checking for notifications/news/updates on ALL apps.

Doom scrolling through one app, then doing the same on another, then another, then another, then starting over and going through all the apps again and repeating the process until insane.
I’ve been so anxious I’ve been Doom Looping all day to see if there’s any news

Temple of Doom

When you nut in a chicks mouth and before she can spit it out you push up her lower jaw while pinching her nose forcing her to swallow your load. Extra points if you chant during release and call KALIMA while she swallows.
Ol' girl wouldn't swallow so I had to give the Temple of Doom. Kalima bitch.

ultra death-skank of uber-doom

the ultra death-skank of uber-doom (or UDSUD) is a technique of skanking invented by a highschooler named nate used to skank in mosh pits withouth hXc dancing.

can also be used to smash people's balls in or give them a dead leg so you can grab whatever you are trying to get from them (ex: bag of weed) and yell YOINK and then run away really fast
dude! nate just used the ultra death-skank of uber-doom on ezra again because i think he said something about his sister and had to get an unfair advantage to run away because of his stoner asthma!
