sneaker wave

A random wave at the beach, most commonly on the U.S. Northern Pacific Coast, that comes to shore much farther and higher than any of the other recent waves. They aren't noticeable beforehand from shore and "sneak" up on people unexpectedly, many times causing people to be pushed over, or even swept out to sea.

The sneaker wave at Thor's Well, Cape Perpetua, Oregon, was deadly as it swept to sea the unsuspecting photographer who had chosen to ignore the signs warning of impending danger.

Fourth wave

The first wave was novel according to some people, but by the fourth or fifth wave, the media is starting to sound like imbeciles, and so are scientists, helath care workers, government officials, and everybody else trying to warn people over and over again about viruses, restrictions, and mandates.

You wonder if most of the people in their country are as paranoid of the coronavirus as the authoritative voice of the media tells them they are. Are most people thinking about a fourth wave any more than they are thinking about what they would normally think about on a day to day basis? They know life is going to go on no matter what for the ones that make it through every wave.

Waved Out

To be overly tired, drained or strung out. Usually due to the use of some form of illicit drug.

The term was coined because of the oils and sweat that persperate through the skin from being under the influence of certain drugs. This in turn causes the hair to become oily/ greasy and have a wavy appearance.

Dude, last night was fun as hell but I'm waved out.

Dude those hits were good I'm totally waved.
