Post-Traumatic Choke Disorder

An anxiety disorder that is triggered from witnessing one's team choke, whether that be a spring training game, season game, or playoff game. Symptoms include:

-Fair weather sportsmanship
-Ranting about the choke
-Afraid to watch any games
-Making excuses to not watch a game (playing video games, homework, on the computer)
-Avoidance of talk about recent games
-Loss of faith in team
-Low self-esteem, unable to defend team from rival fans

Example 1:

Joe: Dammit! The Cubs just keep losing!

Kel: Screw this, I'm gonna go to the bar!

Few minutes later...

Joe: Yes! We tied it!

(Kel runs in the room)

Kel: Alright! They're unstoppable!

Joe: Damn, Kel. No need to hide your PTCD.

Example 2:

Joe: Hey, the Pats won last night!

Kel: Fuck the Pats! All they ever do is fucking lose! We won Super Bowl Fucky-Two! The Giants weren't actually that fucking good enough! It was one of our fucking players!

Joe: Chill, Kel!

Kel: Sorry. Post-Traumatic Choke Disorder.

Example 3:

Joe: Hey, Kel! You gonna watch the ALDS tonight?

Kel: No, I'm probably gonna go out with Jane.

Joe: I thought you broke up with Jane?

Kel: Dammit! My PTCD's acting up again!

Example 4:

Joe: Hey, the Cubs played an amazing game last night!

Kel: Um, can we not talk about the Cubs right now? I happened to miss the game.

Joe: PTCD?

Kel: Yup.

Example 5:

Marvin: Yo, Boston sucks!

Kel: Yeah, whatever.

Joe: Dude, don't take that from him!

Kel: Who cares? I've lost confidence!

Joe: Stop it with the PTCD!

Example 6:

I myself happen to be a sufferer of PTCD. Since the Pats' loss in Super Bowl 42, I have been petrified of ever watching another sports game. The one time I watched a Red Sox game after that was when they choked to the White Sox during a home game in 2010. Since then, I have suffered a double dose of the disorder.

flophouse

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.

Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
