Refers to a "consideration for sleepers" action whereby --- in order to briefly look at something from the doorway of a pitch-dark room in which you know that one or more other humans are seeking a little shut-eye --- you first open up your own eyelids extra-wide to allow yourself maximum visibility, and then perform a super-quick "on-off" action (one-half-second at the absolute maximum) with the room's light-switch, so that you are able to check on whatever you needed to know (such as that there is nothing on the floor between you and the sleeper's bed, and thus you can safely tiptoe forward in the dark and crawl in with the slumberer without tripping), but minimize the disturbance of the sleepy person(s) by not having the ceiling-lamp lit long enough for him to even be much aware of it.
Considerate dude who's staying overnight at his girlfriend's apartment: I always use the "single-strobe light-flick" prior to re-joining Tiffany in her bed after I visit the Little Boys' Room during the night, just to make sure that neither of her cats has decided to stretch itself out on the floor of the bedroom. It avoids any unexpected "yowls in the dark", plus Tiffany tells me that she seldom even notices my brief room-illuminations, so that's a good thing.

Get the single-strobe light-flickmug. When an oilfield worker comes to west Texas for work, and acts as though he’s single for his two weeks there, but in reality has a wife and three kids back home, often states a way.
As often found in Tinder bios ‘Please actually be single, and not west Texas single.’ or ‘Don’t let me find out you have a wife back home.’

Get the singlemug. That inevitable picture one changes their profile to once they break up with their SO. There are took types. The really obvious "old selfie", which is normally the best photo the person took in the last 2-5 years, meant to show off that they are still hot (and single). Or the "new selfie" which is obviously taken quickly to replace a profile picture that features the person who they just broke up with.
"I didn't know Zack wasn't dating Mara anymore till I saw his single selfie. That picture is so old."
"Why did Sam take such a bad random photo for his profile...*checks status, finds he just dramatically broken up with his boyfriend*, oh it's his Single Selfie"

Get the Singlemug. the idea of being in a serious relationship stirs feelings of mild anxiety for a lot of people, so some people while not being in a serious relationship, but are in love with someone, call themselves being “single together”.
Person 1 (while referring to person 2 and themselves) : hey we are single, hit us up ;)
Person 3 : y’all- they are single together, iykyk
