Nearly mentally ill

Pretending or saying to have a mental illness or mental health problems just for SOME aspects of it that are considered "cool" or "emo", but being disgusted by non-glamourous aspects of that mental illness.

Examples:
Saying you have depression because you're sad lately, but being disgusted by someone who can't get up to take a shower.
Saying you have anxiety because you're feeling stressed lately, but laughing at someone having a panick attack.

If you're mentally ill and don't brag about it you're likely to not be nearly mentally ill.
"Because of my black sweater and my earphones on, people will assume I have depression and I'll be cool !" : this is a nearly mentally ill behaviour
"I wash my hands before AND after going to the bathroom. I'm so OCD !"

Nearly Dead 

Turning 32, single, all your friends are married and reproducing, you've traveled, want to see more but are bound by societies idealism of buying a house settling down and forgetting about the world.

Plus you live in the state of Western Australia, where everyone drives slow, is scared of change and don't venture outside after dark in fear of their walking frames being stolen.
Happy Birthday mate "yeah thanks", hold on how old are you? I'm 32.

Shit dude you're single and living in Perth, you're nearly dead.

Nearly Pissed On the Third 

Derives from the episode of Mythbusters:

A saying that describes how close something was to happening. Usually uttered when in relief that something tragic did not occur.

The saying has it's origins in the Mythbusters episode where they rigged a dummy up to urinate on the third rail, of a railway track, which would subsequently give a lethal amount of electricity.
Jon: Aw mate imagine if you went out with Cersei.

Davos: I almost did.
Jon: No fucking way.
Davos: Yea, but she didn't like older guys, Christ, can you imagine? I nearly pissed on the third.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
