Tom Hanksed

Definition

The act of anthropomorphizing inanimate objects, inspired by that guy who befriended a volleyball for two hours of screen time. When you catch yourself apologizing to your printer or blaming your phone for being "in a mood," you've been Tom Hanksed. It's the modern equivalent of yelling at clouds, except the clouds are now your smart home devices.

Example Usage

My coworker totally Tom Hanksed the copier, insisting it jams on purpose because it 'hates Mondays.'
