Constact

A portmanteau word being a blend of "constant" and "contact". Coined during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, when many employees were suddenly forced to work remotely; yet retain instantaneous communication with their co-workers.

Despite me now being able to work in my underwear, I was forced to keep in constact with the office.

Wadsworth Constant

The Wadsworth Constant is the fundamental idea that the true meaning of a video, conversation, or comment approaches importance after approximately 30% of it has been skipped over.

The above definition, for instance, has 180 characters. After applying the Wadsworth Constant, we skip over 52 characters (29%). The definition now reads,
"the true meaning of a video, conversation, or comment approaches importance after approximately 30% of it has been skipped over."

Contact wait out

"Contact, wait out" is a term military personel use over the radio to report enemy sightings/attacks. "Contact" means that the enemy has been identified or that you have already been attacked. "wait" means that you have no time to explain the situation right now. "out" means that you are about to end transmission and will call back later.

*Huge explosion*
Lieutenant: Holy shit, call it in!
Radio operator: This is Mike November 4, contact wait out!
