Trigger mortis

A spasm of regret, often originating in the index finger, immediately after hastily sending an email or a text message that may, on reflection, be inappropriate.

Why oh why did I accept his friend request? Now my hand is locked in a shameful rictus of trigger mortis.

Trigger Mortis

A certain lockjaw of the thumb, resulting from playing too aggressively during button mashing video games. Most often associated with heated matches of Mario Party.

Dude, I so could have won that minigame had I not caught the trigger mortis!

That phenomenon when you go to shoot yourself but you are frozen stiff and can’t manage to pull the trigger.

I guess triggermortis just kicked in when I thought about the prospect of being dead.
