Artest Mode

Being in a state where everything is unexpectedly and unreasonably difficult. Originally coined upon the observation that Ron Artest unexpectedly dominates everyone in NBA Jam.

Mike has three projects, two papers, two presentations, and five exams before next Tuesday. Looks like he's playing life on Artest Mode this week.

Taipei Mode

A mode you can find yourself in before age 30 when you are drifting around with a girlfriend or boyfriend and she or he is your primary companion every waking hour of the day. Usually a fun and enjoyable mode; can be destructive if in this mode for too long for no great reason. Most couples enter it when traveling by bus, train, plane together, staying in hotels together, visiting family together, road tripping together (this can overlap with “On the Road Mode”). Usually when you’re doing “autofiction” type activities with a companion, characterized by sharing the experience in a mostly positive manner. Doing drugs not necessary to enter this mode. Usually noticed after reading “Taipei” by Tao Lin.

Kinda went Taipei Mode with my gf last summer. We flew to Ireland and stayed in a hotel. Then we flew back but red-eyed from New York to Florida right away. Her family’s in Florida. Then we went to LA and crashed with our friends for a couple weeks, kinda doing nothing. Then we flew back to New York together and took the train up to visit my parents in Beacon.

It was pretty fun when me and my wife used to go Taipei mode, but you can only really feel that mode before you’re married.

I have work at 3pm today and so my brain is going to be on waiting mode until work starts.

gherbo mode

Only the blackest of the black use this word. Also, only if you are a top recruit for either football or basketball you can use this term. It is typically defined as going beast mode or straight savage.

Next season my attitude is in full gherbo mode, real talk.

kitty mode

When cats randomly go back to their kitty instincts. Often when you pet them and they are being adorable, then BAM! it grabs, kicks with their back feet and bites your hand! All when you thought kitty was being nice to you!

It may also happen randomly during the day or at night when they take off running for no reason or attack your shoelaces or (insert random object here) so fiercely you dare not move or you will be ripped to shreds.

Person A: "Wow! I thought I was finally warming up to your cat Angel, rubbing her tummy when she just randomly bit me!"

Person B: "Yeah, you gotta watch out for her. She can get into kitty mode pretty quick."
