observation period 

The period of time when you’re casually fucking a guy you used to date, and you’re assessing whether or not he has the emotional capacity to potentially be in a relationship with again, and if you even want to try to be anything other than friends who have great sex rock out and celebrate life a couple times a month. Also, it’s so much fucking fun and you don’t want that to stop or change so it’s an excellent way to maximize the fun, to stretch out the observation period. This amount of time is unspecified. Most likely lasts as long as it takes for one of the parties involved to freak out.
Michael, I didn’t say I wanted you to be my boyfriend?! This is still the observation period, I’m observing you, and you are observing me too, really.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
