Virus eating

A 24-hour condition following social events where you become possessed by an insatiable carbohydrate demon, consuming every bread product, pasta dish, and baked good in sight without ever feeling full. Usually triggered by alcohol consumption and poor life choices, it turns even the most health-conscious person into a walking carb vacuum. The hungover cousin of stress eating.

Time-poor

A term used to convey how busy you are and that you have very little free time; plays off of the concept of being poor when you don't have money, so you are therefore time-poor when you don't have time.

K-Town

Lazy shorthand for literally any town that starts with K, relying entirely on context to avoid confusion between Kingston, Kalamazoo, or Koreatown. It's the geographical equivalent of saying "you know the place" and hoping everyone's on the same page. Popular among people who think syllables are overrated and assume their social circle shares one brain cell.
