Crushing lollipops
A metaphor or idiom used to describe a situation that is superficially supposed to be pleasant, sweet, or polite, but instead feels deeply uncomfortable, forced, rigid, or socially awkward underneath.
"I had to go to my mother’s friend’s house over the weekend. I spent three hours sitting on a plastic-covered couch doing forced small talk. The whole experience was pure crushing lollipops."
