Architectural Integrity

Definition: The structural soundness of a layered food item, especially burgers, when ingredients maintain proportional heights and textures. Violated by onion slabs doubling as walls, bun foundations that disintegrate under sauce, or towering toppings that turn lunch into edible Jenga.…

Burgicide

Definition: The catastrophic structural failure of a burger caused by poorly engineered ingredients. Think towering slabs of raw onion, lukewarm lettuce turning slimy, or a bun so soggy it disintegrates on contact. This transforms your meal into a slippery, sauce-squirting…

Light Shopping

Definition: When you’re completely oblivious to someone’s obvious flirting because you’re hyper-focused on an incredibly mundane task. Like browsing light fixtures while a store employee drops hints about their availability, hobbies, and preferred mood lighting – all while you’re mentally…

Flirtnado

Definition: A chaotic, zero-to-sixty public flirting attempt so aggressively abrupt it leaves bystanders mentally winded.

Definition: The mythical buffer zone that used to exist between minor bureaucratic hiccups and immediate deportation proceedings, now vaporized under aggressive ICE enforcement. Immigration lawyers mourn its extinction as judges deny extensions, dismissals trigger ICE ambushes, and even decades-old residents…

ICEpick’d

Definition: The gut-punch moment when ICE agents ambush immigrants right after a court hearing, especially following a dismissed case or procedural win. Lawyers call it a “motion-to-misery” trap: you exit the courtroom relieved, only to get snatched into expedited removal…
