A term used to describe a failure state of lithium-ion batteries, such as those found in smartphones and laptops. A battery can become a spicy pillow due to multiple factors, including (but not limited to) the battery's age, physical damage to the battery, and/or an error in manufacturing or installing the battery. In this state of failure, the battery has entered "thermal runaway": unwanted chemical reactions inside the battery cause heat and poisonous gases to build up inside it.
The "pillow": the build-up of gases inside the battery causes it to swell, resembling a pillow. This often happens slowly over time. The swelling is an obvious sign that the battery has failed, or is about to fail. The pressure build-up may in turn make the battery's device bulge and then come apart, e.g. a phone's screen cracking and/or separating from the phone body.
The "spicy": the swollen battery is now a fire and/or explosion hazard. Improperly-contained spicy pillows have destroyed vast swathes of electronic equipment, set houses ablaze, and sent people to the emergency room with third-degree burns, often due to the phones in their pockets.
"I don't care how fun it looked on YouTube, Dan — don't pop that spicy pillow!"

Pom Poko Syndrome (noun) - The condition in which humans begin acting like crazed tanuki (the Japanese raccoon-dog) due to extreme weather such as a heat wave.
Context: According to Japanese legend, the tanuki is a curious and humorous changeling creature, known for its oversized scrotum and troublemaking. The gigantic scrotum, called kinbukuro (bags of gold) or kintama (golden balls), can stretch to reach the size of 8 tatami mats.
Your roommate: Why did you eat all my ice cream?
You: Sorry. It was hot as hell and I was suffering from Pom Poko Syndrome.

The Generation Born between 2012 and an unknown end. Although some same Gen Alpha may end in 2025, although as of this definition, 2025 is not here yet so we can’t be 100% sure. This Generation grew up in the Late 2010s, Early 2020s, Mid 2020s, Late 2020s, Early 2030s, and Mid 2030s.
There is a Stereotype that Gen Alpha grew/is growing up with IPads and When their IPad is taken away they die or something like that, that is only partially true. While they did grow up in the technological Age, some of them didn’t actually have a Phone next to them the moment they are born.
Gen Alpha could be living in one of the most revolutionary times in Human History, or they could be living in one of the worst times in Human History, it really just depends how Stupid the Human Race Is.
Oh that Gen Alpha Kid over there could Grow Up when Humans Go to Mars!

One who dips to excess. A libertine of sauces. If a sandwich is being eaten, 4+ mustard varieties must be smeared in overlapping pools on the plate. If a hot dog is ordered at a movie theater, two fistfuls of condiment packets are prerequisite. If takeout noodles are eaten at home, the restaurant's condiments must be put to work in tandem with a variety of ancient sauce containers from the refrigerator. God forbid chicken nuggets enter the equation. Can be used for extra value if they are big spoon in bed.
That bitch is a big dipper. She asked for so many sauces at the Chick-fil-A drive thru they made her buy the bottle.
