sheet caking

/ʃi t keɪkɪŋ/ verb

Based on Tina Fey's appearance on the SNL Weekend Update, sheet caking is the act of binging (or engaging in equally indulgent and compulsive behavior) as a way to pretend feeling sorry for yourself is helpful to those with less privilege than you, especially in a politically tense climate. Also used to maintain denial about one's own complacency in the face of political upheaval and the suffering of others.

She was going to use my day off yesterday to get organized, but she read the news on Facebook and ended up sheet caking with pasta and garlic bread the rest of the night.
