counter pressure

The feeling that you need to rush to put your change in your purse and your shopping in your bag due to the weight of the queue behind you.

I reckon I lost my key when I was fumbling for my wallet in the counter pressure!

Photo Socialist

A Photo Socialist is a person in a group who wants to have their group photo taken, so therefore requires eliciting a stranger to do so.

'Nah, I didnt pull at Eightcrasher last night. I got talking to a photo socialist or two but nothing came of it!

twixpiphany

Similar to Twixmas, except Twixpiphany is the time between Jan 1 and Jan 6, when it is still technically 'Christmas' as it is not yet Twelfth Night, but with New Year celebrated and a return to work, consists of eating the last Christmas leftovers (mince pies, Twiglets etc) and the favourite phrase 'Have you STILL got that tree up?'

Of course, in most European countries which actually have Epiphany as a bank holiday, Twixpiphany is the countdown to Christmas's closing party.

Twixpiphany break to Skegness Jan 2-Jan 5. Only £89!

Plymouthed Sun

A phenomenon common in coastal regions where a pattern of cloud building just inland with clear skies out to sea can divide a major city in two for hours, with one half in constant sunshine and one half in constant shade. First noticed in Plymouth.

Can also refer to fog related microclimates where the coast of, say LA may be under chilly thick fog but a few blocks inland basks in warm sunshine.

Lets walk down the coast a bit first. Its Plymouthed Sun around here!

sex death positioning scale

An arbitrary way of 'scoring' your life and determining whether you are enjoying a good time or in a 'trough.'

Nominally, death may correspond to -10 where 0 or below indicates psychological distress. A score below -10 is possible if you are so suicidal you havent got the energy to go through with the act. (DONT DO IT CALL THE SAMARITANS!)

A score of 25 indicates sex, with 35 mindblowingly good sex.

How are you?

I'm 17 on the sex death positioning scale!

euphoricore

Also called neo-happy hardcore. What hardcore may evolve into as an early 2010s backlash against darkcore.

Hardcore music consisting of ridiculously sentimental lyrics, piano riffs make a return, increasingly higher and higher notes make their way onto the track and the beat regularly exceeds 200bpm.

(to booming beats) 'A million shining rainbows light the sky' (piano riffs) ' A palette of spectral colours and they're mine' (more piano riffs) ' Stick out your danicing tongue lets dine dine dine.'

Raver 1:- (not on drugs) ' Christ, the hardcore at HTID41 is a bit mad!

Raver 2:- (on several Es) 'I love it! I love you! I love life! GIZZA HUG! EUPHORICORE!'

decoupling

The act of doing something major in your life with friends and family being unaware of it due to your lack of informing them. Often this is due to fear of what they may think, particularly if you fail at it.

'Sorry the job interview was a decoupling one. I didnt want to tell you I was looking for a new jonb unless I got the head of science post at Canesworth Academy!'
