We all know some that fits, right? From the New Yorker:
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/07/20/lexicon-for-a-pandemicMaskhole: An individual who wears a mask in a way that makes it completely ineffective—e.g., below the nose, under the chin, on the back of the head.
Face naked: The state of facial exposure that occurs when an individual declines to wear a mask in public. For example, “Pence went all face naked to the Mayo Clinic.”
Body mullet: What most people wear on Zoom calls: a nice top and, below the waist, underwear or less. (“Business up top, party down below.”)
The NOVID-19: The nineteen minutes after a too-close interaction with a maskless stranger during which you experience a thickness in your throat and a certainty that you’re dying. This sometimes lasts longer if frantic hand washing, antiseptic gargling, and estate planning are not readily available.
Overdistancing: When the guy in front of you in line has a metric understanding of the six in six feet, allowing twenty feet to open up between him and the next person in line, which then allows others to interpret that next person as the end of the line and to cut in front of you.
Domino distancing: When the person behind you in line stands too close, causing you to crowd the person in front of you, and on and on until everyone dies.
Emotional distancing: Deciding that now really isn’t the time to make big decisions about a relationship or, for that matter, to have a conversation about it.
Covideo: A short video featuring a quarantined individual’s child doing something adorable and/or profane, the public sharing of which falls somewhere between cute and a cry for help.
Stockholm syndrome: The assumption that everyone would be just fine without any government restrictions.
Someday, Noneday, Whoseday?, Whensday?, Blursday, Whyday?, Doesn’tmatterday: Days of the week.
Parenting: The ability to figure out why the PlayStation isn’t working with the Wi-Fi.
Body Zoom-morphia: Finding your own image on a group video call so unappealing that you are unable to focus on anything else.
Quorumtine: The minimum number of family members necessary to decide what to watch on TV.
Pan-demic: A potentially dangerous increase in the baking of bread in a quarantined home.
COVID-30: Formerly COVID-15; the amount of weight gained by an average adult during quarantine. Sometimes related to a pan-demic.
Helter shelter: That moment in the quarantine day when everything seems dirty and chaotic and you feel like saying, “Fuck it, let’s go outside. I don’t care if we die and a bunch of other people do, too.”
Wovid: Ceaseless voices in your head, mostly talking about truck repairs, house cleaning, golf course maintenance, Gin Blossoms, Bob Mould, tiny blankets, bloody gashes and an occasional story of waking up somewhere other than home.
Flattening the curve: Trying to fit into your jeans after three months of sweatpants. (See COVID-30.)
Germophobe: Formerly, crazy people (e.g., Howard Hughes); now everyone except crazy people.
Going viral: No longer used. ♦

Well, this one is definitely NSFW so don't click on it if strong language bothers you.
It's a passionate plea that should be shared though so if you have Twitter, please feel free.
It's important and I thank him for his service and his PSA.

I long for the days where the worst thing to worry about when talking too close with someone was getting a whiff of crap breath; not the f’n Rona, droplets or aerosols.0

^^ I did the body mullet for the 2020 teaching children UBC degree online grad photo that I submitted for them to add a background stamp to and return to me via e-mail for a keepsake. (Oh wait, that's my profile pic too, oh well, that's how we roll at home.)I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef
Animals were hiding behind the Coral
Except for little Turtle
I could swear he's trying to talk to me

These are funny only I question "Body Mullet". A mullet haircut is short on top, long at the back. So wouldn't a body mullet look more like this?:

^ Me, neither. Mine showed off my legs. Speaking of mullets, that's how my covid hair ended up after the pink went blond, then green in the pool, then brown/green, then darker brown with light browner roots and some of the top lengths burned off. I could pull off a mullet practically. My poor, poor, covid hair. I'm sticking to hats and French twists! Damn, I should have worn the damn mask, found a bloody sitter, and got the balayage by pros. F**K!
Oh: And to make matters worse, it's naturally curly on the top hair, but the beautiful hair that I dyed pink for that wonderful cruise, where I saw that super cute guy and a couple of sea creatures... I digress... it's not even Waynes World cute. The shortened top odd few layers are curly and the rest of the treated hair lost its' bounce.
And now, back to the other curses of the virus... (meaningless rant complete).Post edited by Spunkie onI was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef
