Shrinkpost

A specific instance of Shrinkbait—any post that uses psychological language, diagnosis, or therapeutic concepts to dismiss, pathologize, or attack a target. Shrinkposts are recognizable by their clinical vocabulary deployed in non-clinical contexts: "narcissist," "borderline," "psychotic," "delusional," "unwell," "needs help," "touch grass," "take your meds." They may mimic concern ("I'm genuinely worried about your mental health") while functioning as attacks. They may diagnose from a single post, pathologize disagreement, or frame normal human variation as disorder. The Shrinkpost doesn't engage content—it commits the speaker to the asylum, then pretends that's compassion.
"She wrote a passionate critique of institutional power. The first reply was a Shrinkpost: 'This level of anger suggests unresolved trauma. Have you considered therapy? I'm concerned about your wellbeing.' Not a word about her argument, just pathologization dressed as care. Concern as a cudgel, therapy-speak as silencing."

Shrinkpotle 

The restaurant chain formerly known as Chipotle, until around 2022 when they began to significantly shrink portion sizes to combat inflation. Once a proud company and many people's go-to mexican spot, Chipotle has now become nothing more than a bite-size burrito boondoggle.
Joe: Hey Brad, want to hit up Chipotle for lunch? Brad: You mean Shrinkpotle? No thanks, I'm not interested in paying $10 for the Ant Burrito Especial.

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
