Quarantinized - when you are so used to being quarantined, you won't survive the outside world.
Etymology: While watching Shawshank Redemption Red (Morgan Freeman was
talking about
Brooks (Old Prisoner) who was "Institutionalized" and when he got out. He could not survive and committed
suicide. (Great Scene).
RED
Man's been here fifty years. This
place is all he knows. In here,
he's an important man, an educated
man. A librarian. Out there, he's
nothing but a used-up old con with
arthritis in both hands. Couldn't
even get a library card if he
applied. You see what I'm saying?
FLOYD Red, I do believe you're talking
out of your ass.
RED
Believe what you want. These walls
are funny. First you hate 'em, then
you get used to 'em. After long
enough, you get so you depend on
'em. That's "institutionalized."
Boy Friend: This is going to be
the best party in the city! I can't
think of being with
nobody else....You coming?
Girl Friend:No.
Boy Friend: You've been Quarantinized...too long!
