pando moment

A moment of existential angst where there's nothing really wrong, except everything is fucking wrong; a low-level freak out in which the world feels like it's about to end and you're just over everything, undergone by many in quarantine or just trying to live their day-to-day lives. This term was created on Michelle Gomez's Instagram in April of 2020.

"I can't bake anymore, cook anymore, dance anymore, I'm over it! It's a wee bit of a pando moment."

"Crying for no good reason? Piling on the pounds? Staring at the carpet? You might be having a PANDO MOMENT!"

Panda Moment

That moment when everyone can easily tell what the next step is, likely in the game, and your mind goes blank and leads to frustration which is heightened by the knowledge that you are the only one that doesn't see the answer.

You are playing a game and the only object in the room is a ladder. You get confused and start asking where to go next when it is clear that there is a single, well-defined option. Once you figure it out, you decree it as a panda moment.
