100% that Aussie brand you're always bored-scrolling and have 52 items in your cart. IYKYK. Somehow every mall trip ends up here and you're rifling through the graphic tees (decisions, decisions), trying jeans you already have (but in a different wash), another pair of leggings (these have pockets though), and playing with the accessories (is this the new me?). Suddenly you're thirsty, but it's okay cos you can grab a chilled water (and support the Cotton On Foundation!). At the checkout, you get 5 tote bags, cos you can't decide on one. And then you're really * done * with IRL shopping (for like 2 weeks). So you go back to scrolling again.

A technique used in filmmaking where the director makes a character do something illogical or random for the situation in order to reveal vital information for the plot.
This phenomenon was found and named after a scene in the movie ‘Get Out’ when the main character, Chris, was being hypnotized in the chair but it was ineffective because he had cotton balls in his ears. Since the hypnosis was still a threat he should’ve left the cotton balls in but he removes them due to the director needing to reveal to the audience how he was able to beat it.

Why did Arnold throw away that weapon he could’ve used it moving forward?! Oh that’s just the director throwing a Cotton Ball at us to show he had it the whole time.

“Remember that time Dan was getting a cotton candy sunset while his ribeye was cooking over open flame…?”
“May I please have a cotton candy sunset?”
“Do you think while kids are swimming in the ocean I can get a quick cotton candy sunset?”
