Groundhog Year

A year in which every day feels the same as the day before, and the day before that, stuck in your own private Punxsutawney thanks to Covid.

March 2020 to March 2021 felt like Groundhog Year to many, their working, academic and social lives constrained, confined, out of reach, the old forward motion of days, weeks, months a diminishing dream.

Gender Reveal

An unsolicited photo of a person's genitalia. The politically correct term for what was long known as "indecent exposure", borrowed from the whole baby-coming-out-party idiocy.

She was neither shocked nor offended by Jared's sending her a dick pic an hour after their first date, as if he was unsure whether he was actually a man. She was fairly certain he was, and was not in need of the gender reveal.

Virussian Roulette

Flirting with death by going shopping during coronaviral stay-at-home orders.

There was a strong chance of catching the virus, going out was playing Virussian Roulette, but she had stopped caring.

p-Phone

The Pavlov smartphone. It pings, buzzes, vibrates or rings and you JUMP! to respond.

Named for Ivan Pavlov, a Nobel-winning Russian physiologist famous for his work in classical conditioning.

To his eternal astonishment, she was incapable of ignoring her p-Phone, no matter the circumstance.

2020 Social Climber

Someone who aspires to share dinner in a restaurant with another person, before the year is out.

He accepted that he was a 2020 Social Climber, longing to be invited to any party, where he would weave fanciful stories of having been anywhere, and rubbed elbows with anyone.

2020WTF

A vanity license plate, issued in Maine.

She stared numbly through the rain coursing down her windshield, wondering if she were dreaming. There it really was, on the car in front of her, the truth of her life this year, the truth of everyone's life. 2020WTF.
