Lennart Poettering

A somewhat well-known author of surreal horror fiction from Germany, Lennart Poettering is mostly known for writing overly long and confusing works such as Pulsations of Autophilia (a tragedy about a sluggish autistic teenager who is murdered while fucking his uncle's Porsche and comes back as a ghost to seek vengeance) and Systems Down (about a server administrator who finds himself locked in the server room after closing time with a horrible, memory-corrupting abomination).

I picked up this new book at Barnes and Noble, but it says that Lennart Poettering is required reading so I'm taking it back.

Potterism-69

Potterism-69 is a virus that occurred during the outbreak of COVID-19. The virus first appeared when a young boy Luke Potter coughed in public which cost the lives of many elderly women. This devastating virus also effected the atmosphere leading to multiple blizzards on the 21st July 2021

“Fuck me sideways I’ve been sneezing for an hour straight bro”

“Oh shit you might have Potterism-69, don’t pass it on to me please!”

e-pottering

The act of accidentally squandering several hours (or days) on your computer while not doing anything in particular. e.g., YouTubing “just one more” vid, re-filing mp3s, looking up friends of friends of friends on Facebook, wading through MySpace band requests, Tweeting randoms, browsing for the definition of your own name on the Urban Dictionary etc...

The activity distorts the time perception of the e-potterer in such a way that an apparent 1 min of e-pottering time equates to roughly 1.5 Standard Earth Hours (as perceived by partners, friends, family and the fascist time police at your place of work).

Dude 1 - Bro, you look knackered today were you out late partying?
Dude 2 - No such luck man, I was just up until 4am this morning e-pottering.

Portering

A verb (pronounced "Porter-ing") that describes when a person plays a multi-player video game (such as Halo or Smash Bros.) and sits on the sidelines while the other players fight and kill each other. When only 2 out of all the players fighting are left, the one who took this action tends to win because he did not do anything and angers the other players.

"Freakin' Mike won againg because he was portering the whole time!"
