Genus Envy

The feeling that you get when you hear that one of your friend's got the latest new hot gadget.

Bob: Hey I just got the ipod nano. It's super small and featuretastic

Ben: Oh man, I have major genus envy.

Food envy

A German expression (Futterneid) describing the behaviour of persons who hoard food or are unwilling to share food with others.

Didn’t your brother just take that platter of food to his room?

Yes, but I rescued it. I might want to eat some more later. It’s my food envy.

Drunk Envy

Drunk Envy is when you see people drinking, probably not even drunk, but at the perfect point of tipsy where everything is a little bit funnier, everybody is a little bit prettier, and the conversation seems to be wittier. However, you are in recovery so you know if you have one beer, it'll be sixteen more, take a trip to the hood for some oxy and wake in a traphouse with some sketchy ass chic. So, you can't have even one beer under any circumstances.

Him: Hey what's wrong? It's a beautiful day for camping! Why so distracted?
Me: Ugh - these twentysomethings round here and their white claw. Feeling some drunk envy.
