A Mounjaro-related panic-buying or shortage period where everyone suddenly starts hunting for pens, ordering early, stockpiling, or jumping between pharmacies before supplies disappear.
A play on “pandemic” and Mounjaro “pens”, the term became popular in UK Mounjaro communities during periods of shortages, price changes and pharmacy chaos.
Often followed by frantic checking of social media and pharmacy websites to see who actually has stock and what everyone is charging.
“The pharmacy says 10mg is out of stock again. Looks like another pendemic.”
“I survived the last pendemic with three pens and absolutely no dignity.”
An individual who is afraid to do things outside of the house due to their fear of catching the VID. If these people do leave their homes, they generally wear a mask outdoors and sanitize their hands every 10 seconds.
My friend is too much of a pandemic pussy to go anywhere. I once saw him hiking in the woods miles away from the closest human and he still had a mask on. He even wears his mask in his sleep and bathes in purell
The Pandemicon is a contemporary surveillance assemblage. It emerges when a pandemic disease forces the State to use novel forms of governance and control, such as curfews, quarantines, health testing, tracking cell phonedata, border closures, etc. The measures are not new, but they are only brought together in this way during a pandemic, and often outlive the disease itself.
Have you heard they track cell-phone data of bug-carriers and carry out mandatory testing in Singapore? Yeah...they've perfected the Pandemicon there.
The loose fitting or elastic pants most are wearing while working from home. Note, some believe that by wearing tight pants that they can avoid the weight gain know as the 'quarantine-fifteen.'
Karen was convinced that if she avoided pandemic-pants and only wore pants with zippers, that she could avoid the inevitable quarantine-fifteen.
