giraud

That magnificent, horrifying third-eye pimple that takes up prime real estate in the dead center of your forehead and refuses to leave. Named after American Idol contestant Matt Giraud, this is the Mt. Everest of zits—visible from space and impossible to hide without strategic hat placement.

fish police

The self-appointed aquatic hall monitors of the internet who patrol fishkeeping forums to call out your subpar tank setups. While technically correct about your betta's need for a 5-gallon minimum, their delivery has all the tact of a hungry piranha. Bonus points when the lecture comes from someone whose profile picture is clearly taken in their mom's basement.

The Ro-Ro

Playful slang for COVID-19/coronavirus that lets you sound cooler while discussing a global pandemic. It's the verbal equivalent of giving your nemesis a nickname to make it seem less terrifying—because apparently everything is scarier when you have to say the full clinical name.
