womoaning 

Portmanteau to describe when a woman wants to talk only about her problems instead of possible solutions, implicitly expecting the listener to solidarize unanimously and to show emotional support. The pathological phenomenon is recursive co-rumination.
Cindy’s boyfriend Jack picks her up from work.

Cindy: "You wouldn’t believe, my boss assigned me two more projects to see through today. They are both due on Monday, so I have to work over the weekend - again! Clarissa never has to do overtime. This is so unfair. I can’t keep up, I’m exhausted…"
Jack: "He always does this to you. Why don’t you speak up? You need to talk to him about this."
Cindy: "I don't want you to help, I want you to listen."
Jack: "I cannot understand your womoaning. It gets you nowhere."

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.

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.
