Claustrophobia

The other definitions on here don't do this word justice. Claustrophobia is in fact, NOT the fear of Santa Claus, contrary to popular belief. It is the fear of a) tight, enclosed spaces, b) being trapped or restricted (movement-wise), or c) suffocation. Claustrophobia can be a very serious issue and is extremely debilitating in all aspects of life.

Claustrophobia can stem from many things, even seemingly insignificant things. To give a few examples; waiting in a line for a long time, putting in in-ear headphones, using snorkel masks, going underground, being sick and having a stuffy nose, standing in elevators, among many others. Being in situations like these can result in one type of the fears listed above.

Claustrophobia is a horrible fear to have, and it should be taken seriously. Having it can make a person feel like they are going to die. I know what it feels like to have a panic attack from claustrophobia and it was THE most terrifying experience of my life. Nothing can compare to fear like that.

In the end, however, claustrophobia is not without treatment. If you are reading this and have claustrophobia, I won't tell you to not worry. All I can say is your fear is holding you back from loving life the way you could and help is out there!

Santa Clause Drunk

Drunk to the point of losing the ability to filter your thoughts. All judgment taken away.

Symptoms involve throwing things, usually wearing a costume (not necessarily Santa), and speaking the truth at high volumes. Lots of pointing.
A straight man in a wedding dress gets up at the bar and points at a stranger. Before he can even get a word out, he realizes that this stranger is a man he once met three years ago and always wanted to tell him he's a loser because he's fat. At top volume, the santa clause drunkard points at the man and tells him he's a fat loser.

Then the drunk decides to chug his drink and proceeds to throw his glass at the owner of the bar who is in fact a female. Now the santa clause drunkard is severely and/or possibly tasered.

That's when you know someone is santa clause drunk.
