Solid Mantis's definitions

Hard

Something you're trying too hard to do.

Building a fire was hard to the girl, she had always had to try hard at life and common sense, she said. She always felt like she had to give over one hundred percent at everything (and that everyone else did also), especially sports (but none of this came from any authority figure or family member actually instilling this idea in her at a young age). She also thought she had to make everyone else's life difficult in the process.

Behind the times

Somebody who hasn't moved on since 500 AD.

Clovis is now behind the times as a barbarian. He's so unsophisticated, uncivilized, and behind his time.

Coronavirus

Almost like something out of the movie I am Legend or Contagion, the major difference between ife and a movie being that there never was any such thing as normal human behavior to deteriorate from. People's lives were always dysfunctional before the pandemic, as they always will be. The normal people who always seem to want things to change and function more together are the ones you want to watch.

The coronavirus isn't strong enough to keep eople from remaining as dysfunctional as they were before. They don't have to agree on anything, they don't have to get together or get anything together.

Temporary problem

A problem that lasts no longer than a lifespan.

One day the problem child won't be here anymore, and that will be the end of what was always a temporary problem, since there's no such thing as a permanent person anyway. No matter the person, their lifespan is temporary.

Dutch courage

Its bad when a group of people made the English and French look brave in the American Revolution by letting them do all the fighting in a war for independence from European control. Its not called Dutch courage for nothing.

French guy-Your courage is such Dutch courage.
Dutch guy-Well, there was blood everywhere and I was too high to fight.
French guy-Like I said your courage is such Dutch courage.
Dutch guy-Im gonna pretend you didn't say that, I'm a lovable guy.
French guy-You have too much Dutch courage to be a lovable guy. You're a fucking coward, not a pet.
Dutch guy-You made a good point just now.

Damn a French guy told you that you're a fucking coward, that's bad.
