Comfort Porn 

A comic where there aren't any jokes, it's just a character being nice to another character who is in emotional pain. There is no punchline. The final panel instead says something along the lines of "It's all going to be ok".

Variations include:
-A character talking about their lack of confidence in something not to another character, but to the reader.
-A character getting the courage to go off and accomplish things today.
-A character growing tired while drawing at a cintiq and then getting a second wind.
-A character waxing nostalgic about their childhood, then comparing it to their life now, then seeing kids doing a modern day version of what they were doing as a kid, and coming to the conclusion that things will be ok.
Friend: "Why does this comic about some sad mouse being comforted by another mouse have so many likes on insta?"
You: "Because people like your aunt will always be suckers for comfort porn."

Comfort Porn 

Warm and fuzzy, but ultimately useless, feel-good memes or statements.
Some social media feeds are full of no more than Precious Moments, irrelevant promises and other comfort porn.

comfort-porn clothes 

Clothes you only wear around the house when you are alone. Clothes you wouldn't be caught dead in if anyone was around.
When Matt showed up unexpected last week I was in my comfort-porn clothes, my hair was a disaster, and my mascara was smudged all over my face. No wonder he hasn't called.
To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
