Washington Team of Football

The Gridiron Football team formerly known as the Washington Redskins. Also known by their initials, WTF.

Iċ lufiġe þe

I love you” in Old English, pronounced roughly as “ich looviyuh thay”. Can easily be passed off as gibberish if you want to confess to someone without them realizing, or can be extra sweet if you say it to someone who understands Old English.
Person 1: “Iċ lufiġe þe”

Person 2: *blushes* “Iċ eac lufiġe þe” (“I love you too”)

Thou

(Verb)

To address someone by the second person pronoun “thou”. Back when this term was first used, it would often have been said in contempt as Thou was seen as an informal and potentially rude form of address. However nowadays, since Thou is considered by many to be more formal and respectful than the ordinary sounding “you”, it can have the exact opposite meaning and be taken as a great honor.
Historical usage: “Do not thou me, peasant, else I shall give thee a taste of this steel blade!”

Modern usage: “Did you just thou me? Oh my goodness…I’m so flattered!”

Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?!

Humorous inversion of “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
“They say it’s over, we’re down and out, no chance. And to that I say: Over? Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?!”

Bill Clinton Gambit

A defense strategy where one seeks to extricate oneself from a bad situation by claiming to be innocent by (a usually absurd) technicality. Named for former US president Bill Clinton, who popularized this strategy in the 1990s with his creative explanations for how he didn't actually smoke weed because he didn't "inhale", and most infamously, how he didn't technically lie when he said there is no sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because "it depends on what the definition of "is" is."
Person 1: I just read an article about how Senator Rob Johnson claimed he didn't technically commit a crime by being involved in a plot to replace legitimate Electoral College electors with fraudulent ones in the 2020 election, because he was only involved for "a couple seconds"...

Person 2: A Republican using the Bill Clinton Gambit? Oh the sweet irony.

Ecophobia

The fear of climate change and other environmental phenomena, or more specifically, “the feeing of powerlessness to prevent cataclysmic environmental change”. An ecophobic person is likely to have feelings of great anxiety or helplessness about the future. They are possibly also human fatalists, believing that humanity is bringing about the destruction of itself and the planet and that nothing can be done to prevent it. While many people today are rightfully worried about the effects of human intervention on the earth’s climate, some ecophobic people take an even more pessimistic view, and believe that the extinction of mankind itself is necessary to save the planet. This is a controversial view, and not held by most people who feel anxiety about climate change.
If you feel a general sense of helplessness and fatalism when you contemplate the future in humanity’s struggle against climate change, it may be a sign that you have ecophobia

Anteereyesterday

Three days ago. Formed by the compound of yesterday + ere (1 day before) + ante (1 day before that). Theoretically, this process can be continued to formulate as many days back as you wish by simply adding more ere, ante, or another synonym, such as fore. Compare with:

Anteereyestermorn - three mornings ago
Anteereystereve - three evenings ago
Foreanteereyesterday - four days ago

Ereyesterday - two days ago

Overmorrow - two days from now

Overovermorrow - three days from now
We went out anteereyesterday, and I’ve been on cloud nine ever since.
