To think there should be a word which describes the process of buying unnecessary ‘loungewear’ during a lockdown - and other additions to the dictionary which sum up life in the time of Corona?

[Snoopy10]

Christmiss - (noun) Family Christmas held on Zoom
Any suggestions?

The rest of us just going to work like normal people

Ah yes, the Mar-Tier2s and 3s who, whatever the particular alert level is or whether or not the person chatting is talking about having to self isolate because it's the law/they've been in contact through work, will announce that they have to go to work.

The masqueraders. People who go on about not being selfish, popping on a mask for the protection of the people, but secretly hate them just as much as everyone else.

@user1494055864 nice!

The Masketears- people who make a fuss about being exempt when they’re just too lazy/ forgot. Never applied to those actually exempt

Bare faced chic.
People that can't be arsed to wear makeup ever again!

Shall we call the dictionary The Pandemicacon?

Two-tility. The futility of reminding a group of young people to stay 2m apart. Constantly.

The Lockerry - which tier will your region be in this week?
Insanitising -,obsessive worrying about whether you’ve done enough to stay safe/protect others.

The doorbell decency dash

When you risk a serious fall by rushing downstairs whilst putting on a hoodie over your pjs lest it is obvious to the postie that you haven't got dressed all day.

Door bell decency dash.

I’ve christened my gym class by zoom a fat Larry

Cornercopia - the art of stuffing all your junk into a corner not visible from your webcam; thereby convincing your colleagues you’re actually scrupulously tidy.

BC = Before Covid

Masquerage: The feeling of fury engendered when you have to wear a mask for a full eight hour minimum wage shift whilst lifting heavy stuff, but customers can't manage to wear one at all / covering mouth and nose properly for the 5-10 minutes they are in the shop.

When you can't relax at the end of your online yoga class because whilst lying in the floor you have a great view of all the cobwebs in corners and dust under the sofa

Thanks for all the great descriptions. How surreal to think that this time last year no one had even heard of Covid 19 and our freedom was taken for granted.
Anyone want to give me odds on another full lockdown?

Mollycuddles - keeping a pet on your lap or on your feet for warmth whilst working form home.

@tobedtoMNandfart

My new Amazon loungewear is fricking awesome!

Please (pretty please... 😁) could you share what you bought? I'm constantly looking for comfy lounge wear which I can drift around in at home, but can wear to out shopping in my high street... thank you! 🌹

Consumerism?

@iklboo

Skyperactive - moving the mouse around / hitting random keys so it looks like you're working on Skype, but you're actually on Mumsnet.

All windows minimised, corner of a book balanced on the spacebar.

AKA "Spacebarring"

Yes - I only noticed how dusty under the radiator had got during the final lie down of my Pilates class the other day. Couldn't relax till I could get a cloth out and clean it up.

Can’t think of a word for it, but a word that describes the situation of your hands having consumed more alcohol than your mouth!🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Zoom over - the makeover you do when getting ready for a zoom call.

@MLMbotsgoaway is that the one where you do your hair and makeup, put on a nice top but no pants?

It's not specific to lockdown, not original but can I throw in this little gem that I feel summarises the last 7 months for me- and my quaranchunk

We need a word for when you log on your computer at the right time for work so your boss knows you're there but then you go and make a coffee and have a shower.

Rona-ry when you've got to isolate but you live alone and have no one yo tak to or make you soup (very weak Team America joke, 'Ronery, I am so Robert, sitting on my rittle trone').

Pandemigod - your dog thinks you're the bee's knees cos you haven't left them in 7 months! (Possibly suite the opposite in cats?).
