Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"

The natural groove struck by a concert-goer when a witnessing live performance. It can be thought of as their noise floor for excitement reflected in their motion. Each person's idle is unique and while perhaps imitable, is not truly reproducible by any other person. It can be used as a verb (idling) or as noun (his or her idle). The idle spectrum encompasses all types of grooves; from the frantic hula girl to the middle aged man entrenched in the front row with ear plugs nodding to the beat.

The term gets its roots from the cars engine which also idles when waiting at a red light.
