The Portuguese Goodbye

The Portuguese Goodbye refers to a parting of ways that unfolds in stages over tens of minutes, typically involving different people taking turns reviving and extending a conversation that only appears to all non-Portuguese participants as having already reached its natural conclusion.
The way my Portuguese in-laws say goodbye after Sunday dinner typically takes 30 minutes from the first 'we need to go' to the rest of the family encircling their car in the driveway to wave at them while they disappear over the horizon - "the portuguese goodbye" par excellence.

Mirror Morons

Mirror Morons (noun): A term coined to describe individuals who engage in foolish or unintelligent behavior as a result of being excessively influenced by the actions of others, akin to the concept of mirror neurons. These individuals exhibit a remarkable susceptibility to mimicry, often disregarding their own rationality and blindly imitating the actions and decisions of those around them.

Mirror Morons tend to forego critical thinking and independent judgment, instead relying on social cues and the behavior of their peers to guide their own actions. This phenomenon often leads to a lack of personal responsibility and a disregard for potential consequences, as Mirror Morons prioritize conformity and acceptance over individual reasoning.
"Did you see those Mirror Morons at the mall yesterday? They started climbing on the display shelves just because a few others were doing it, completely ignoring the store's staff telling them to stop."
