(n.) The act of lifting one's empty fist to the mouth, in order to replicate the act of taking a Juul hit. Performed by individuals who forgot their Juul at home or have run out of Juul pods.

Like when toddlers suck their thumbs, Juul mimes are acts of muscle memory in moments of desire. A Juul-mimer may be delusional and dangerous, and may also be fidgeting and, more rarely, foaming at the mouth.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
