/ʃi t keɪkɪŋ/ verb

Based on Tina Fey's appearance on the SNL Weekend Update, sheet caking is the act of binging (or engaging in equally indulgent and compulsive behavior) as a way to pretend feeling sorry for yourself is helpful to those with less privilege than you, especially in a politically tense climate. Also used to maintain denial about one's own complacency in the face of political upheaval and the suffering of others.

Instead of going out and getting involved in potentially violent protests against bigots, find a local Jewish-owned or black-owned bakery, buy a sheet cake with an American flag on it, take it home and eat it. Stuff your feelings down!
“Sheetcaking is a grass-roots movement. Most of the women I know have been doing it once a week since the election.” ~ Tina Fey
