#RunOnTheFrank

When a shortage of cocktail franks causes people to over-buy for the holiday season, leaving the shelves empty.

I was going to make piggies in a blanket for Christmas, then I discovered all the stores were sold out. I didn’t realize there was a #RunOnTheFrank.

Veganati 

Derived from Illuminati, Veganaties are the enlightened vegans who feel the need to inform everyone of their superior dietary choices.

Having dinner with my cousin the veganati, I had to endure 2 hours hearing about his food choices and how chia pudding tastes better than cheesecake.

Off-Season Beautiful 

When you’re not one of the truly beautiful people, but enough so to qualify in the off-season.

My wife and were in Portofino, the waiter seated us at a seaside table where others walking by could see us. We thought that doesn’t usually happen. Then we realized the restaurant was mostly empty and it was the off-season, so while not truly beautiful people, we do qualify as off-season beautiful.

Micro Mismanaged 

When your boss is simultaneously micromanaging you and doing a poor job coordinating the project as a whole.

Even with two daily touch points scheduled for this project, no one could figure out what was being asked of them. I've never seen a project so micro mismanaged.

Petsplaining 

The futile endeavor of explaining to your pets what they did wrong and expecting them to understand.

I explained to my puppy why it was wrong for him to pee on the carpet. Two hours later he peed on the carpet again. I should have realized petsplaining doesn’t work.

Bluetooth Carjacking 

When you start your car and it connects to your spouse’s phone.

I started my car and my wife’s phone call from inside the house started coming in on my car speaker. I realized when she borrowed my car last night, I had become the victim of a Bluetooth Carjacking.

Oldmansplaining 

Mansplaining when done by a person of advanced age, typically on a non-PC topic, and at an increased volume.

My father started oldmansplaining to my daughter about the “girl” who worked for him. I just rolled my eyes and said, “too loud and that’s not a term people use any more”.
