A Third-Word Country

= a place where even the wealthy suffer, and only every third word is intelligible during a zoom call.

The Coronavirus does not discriminate between socio-economic strata, leveling all of Humanity; so when a grey rectangle appears on our screens--YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION HAS BECOME UNSTABLE-- we can barely make out every third word, combined with TERRIBLE distortion, during our only tenuous links to the outside world-- our Zoom} calls-- & we are all, thus, living in "A Third-Word Country!"

Third Party Humping

The act of being repeatedly bumped into by a person being humped. Usually seen in cases in which you and the humpee are sitting down next to each other.

John: Did you see Kyle hump Brenda on that bench today?
David: Actually, he was third party humping me. So yes, I did.

Third world crouch

A common stance used by patrons of public restrooms where there are no toilets found, but only holes in the ground. Typically found in most Asian and African countries.

How did you enjoy your trip to China?

Alright, except that third world crouch I had to do in the public bathrooms did a number on my knees.

Third Day Syndrome

The inexorable tendancy for serious injury due to novel activity familiarity and progressive exposure.

Goin' skiing for the first time, eh?
Yeah, I'm totally stoked!
Taking lessons, are you?
Sure am! I've got an Olympic instructor lined up.
***1 week later***
(leg in cast) So, How'd it go?
Well, everything was totally fine. Got a TON of confidence and really started the hang of it...
Then what happened?
Well, I got good enough to be over-confident on the big slopes.
Ahhh, yes. Third Day Syndrome strikes again!
