social instancing

A phenomenon driven by COVID-19 and the direction for social distancing. Social instancing is the brief contact made due to the desire to be close to someone at least for an instant due to the lack of human contact from shelter in place.

Patrick: Where's Paige?

Cara: I think she is out for a walk. She has been cooped up inside for so long, I think she needed to get out for some social instancing to be close to a few folks she has not seen for the past 3 weeks.

Patrick: I sure hope she is not doing that and she is COVIDgilent on her walk such that she wins the COVID-19 chicken all day. She's also got to watch out for that rando pedo neighbor, as he is celebrating No Pants Month.

social distancing chicken

When people walking toward each other on a sidewalk deliberately refuse to alter their paths in a game of chicken, usually resulting in one party stepping aside at the last minute to avoid violating social distancing boundaries.

When our eyes met from behind our masks, I knew we were about to play social distancing chicken.

Socially Disabled

Someone who is clinically unable to socialize, thrives in loneliness and solitude, typically very awkward in a social setting or in a general social interaction, and keeps very few or even no friends at all.

Did you see what quarantining alone for 11 months did to that guy? It made him socially disabled.
