instacurity

An excessive concern with one’s social media presence, influence, and/or likeability.

I knew I was suffering from instacurity when I strategically timed when I was going to post on Twitter to ensure the most retweets, once even tweeting from a funeral because I didn’t want to miss that “peak” time. I’m sure my late aunt would have understood.

Arm triangle of insecurity

A special pose used by women while taking photographs in an effort to reduce the appearance of arm fat. It is performed by standing at an angle towards the camera, with the exposed arm in an akimbo position. Typically, photos such as these appear on Facebook and dating websites. Also typically, the women who strike such a pose are fat and/or insecure about their body image.

Girl: Hey girls, let's all take a group photo
Guy: Wow look at those fatties using the arm triangle of insecurity, all at the same time.
Girl: Omg, we look amazing!

Insecurity card

Insecurity card is an idiomatic phrase that refers to the act of bringing the issue of insecurity into a debate or argument. Women are notorious for accusing their husbands/boyfriends of being insecure for almost anything and everything (even if it's not true).

Bob: Hey Mike, I saw you leave your house last night. What happened?

Mike: I got into a fight with that biatch again. She pulled out the insecurity card like always.

turd insecurity

A public restroom phenomenon in which the turd dumper needs complete privacy in order to do their thing. The presence of another person in the adjacent stall, or even the restroom, will cause sphincters to pucker to less than a 1 cm.

This is especially true if the turd dumper knows he/she is going to have an embarrassing explosive turd, complete with lots of gas and splashing sounds.

Two persons with turd insecurity in adjacent stalls results in a very uncomfortable , time consuming experience for both. A solution is to flush the toilet in sync with dumping the turd, hopefully masking the dump.

His sphincter tight with turd insecurity, Steve hoped the person in the next stall would leave. In the next stall, Mark harbored the same hopes.
