Herp-nerding

Present participle of herp-nerd (Verb).

The act of engaging in behavior which focuses on an object or circumstance peripheral to the immediate object or circumstance at hand.

The act of herp-nerding essentially introduces an extra element of humor by slightly derailing norms by focusing on something that doesn't need to be focused on, making it the new topic of focus. This act alters the attention from the immediate focus, to a peripheral focus.

(ex 1): Two individuals sit in a restaurant looking over a menu. This is the (normal) immediate object or circumstance at hand.

Herp-nerding would ensue if one or both of the two individuals were to take the menu, the silverware, and all objects on both sides of a table and attempt to match them up equally, as if each of the objects on both ends of the table were mirror images of one another.

The focus (and act of herp-nerding) would shift from reading the menu and ordering food, to mirroring the objects--the focus changed (from reading/ordering food) to (playing with and mirroring the objects on the table).

Red Flag Day

1) Pertains to the marked days of a woman's bleeding "period" within the menstrual cycle, from the beginning to the end.

2) "Happy Red Flag Day" is a phrase often used in woman code to welcome one-another into the relentless, ceremonial unleashing of hell about life's problems, onto the ears of the unwilling-- mainly men. You may see this act transpire on Facebook with 12 guys asking "what does red flag day mean,'' followed by 37 "likes" on the initial post. The best means of avoiding this outcome is to remain silent and do not (repeat) DO NOT engage in dialog.

Girl 1: Hey youuu, happy Red Flag Day.

Girl 2: God, I know. I just want it to be over!

Guy 1: What red flag day?

Girl 2: You never listen to me, EVER! I'm leaving... ASSHOLE ::slams door::

Guy 1: ...What!? What the hell was that about?
