Wrong room Recall

Mental condition which relates to the momentary feeling of utter panic you suffer when you wake up in a different location to your normal place of sleep (i.e. Your bed at home) having forgotten you were sleeping somewhere else.

Guy who wakes up- Jesus! Where the F**k am I? Oh right…I’m staying at a hotel this weekend. Phew. That was a bad case of wrong room recall.

get a room

Derisive or humorous comment said to couples engaged in heavy-duty PDA (e.g. swapping spit in the middle of a party) that means your wanton lust is making me uncomfortable (or jealous). The implication is you should get a motel room because you're practically doing it here.

Get a room you two love birds! We're trying to watch the game here.

roommate chicken

The condition where a group of people sharing a living space each avoid doing a household chore for an extended period because each believes it's someone else's responsibility. The idea is that eventually the situation will reach a critical mass where the guilty party will cave in and do the chore. In practice, the situation can escalate to extreme levels.

"I'm not going to do the dishes. It's your turn." "Yeah, but 90% of them are from the dinner you made for your girlfriend. I'm not cleaning up your mess." "I'm not playing roommate chicken with you on this. Clean it up!" "I'll die before I clean your mess." "Fuck you!" "Fuck you!"

Elephant in the room

A very American saying, that is a metaphor for something that people do not want to discuss.

Popularised in the UK by Loose Women guest panellist Alexandra Burke.

Ah, there's an Elephant in the room,
Ah, though we're all alone,
It's not just me and you
