Compromised Cringe

The internal confliction of when something is cringey but you don't say so because a person you're close to enjoys it.

This term originated on a Pewdiepie Minecraft livestream while discussing TikTok.
"If my grandma did a TikTok I'd be like, 'oh that's awesome!'- but inside I'm like, 'bro grandma that's so heckin cringe dude'."

Compromised

Hym "If my phone has been compromised (which it has) YOU know EXACTLY what I HAVE or HAVE NOT googled. Aside from looking up a definition to make sure I'm using the right word or recalling the definition correctly (because (according to Jordan) in the same way that you don't SEE words and infer meaning, you don't THINK in words either. You THINK in MEANING and INFER words). So, if I can't RECALL the definition of a word, I will look up the definition to make sure the WORD I INFERRED coincides with the MEANING I'm trying to convey. There isn't anything 'artificial' about it and you have access to the same tools I have. You're not doing this. YOU require intelligence to be accredited from the top down. Someone you consider an authority needs to TELL YOU THAT I'M RIGHT. You have access to exactly what I do or do not search for AND you have access to the finished product. So, if the former DOESN'T MATCH THE LATTER, then what you are saying about the legitimacy of my intellect MUST be false. The only thing I've googled recently was the details of the Danzaburou story. I was aware of the story when I posted the TANUKI definition. And like I have said before, you wouldn't have known what to google to create the end product that I created. I'm sure there is a YouTube video you can look up to learn more about it. Go look one up. Then like and subscribe to their channel. Then give them all of you money."

wrist-twist compromise

Refers to where you and another male friend are "group-spooning" with a nice gal on the beach or in bed, and she has her "lower" arm/hand (i.e., the one from the shoulder that she's lying on) extended out in front of her and the dude whom she's spooning is contentedly clasping this hand. So of course you therefore wish to hold her "upper" hand, but the prob is that this would ordinarily oblige one of you to rotate your wrist an entire half-turn to position your hand palm-upwards, which would likely cause a somewhat-painful wrenching of your wrist. So instead, you both twist your wrists just a quarter of a turn so that your palms are facing each other, and then interlace your fingers.
My buddy and I were having a nice long group-spoon with Tiffany as a reward for our assisting her around the house for a few hours, and I ended up spooning her from behind. Well, naturally, I wanted to hold her hand, but it would have been too painful for either of us to turn our hand upwards --- especially after the strenuous housework-exertion that we had all just been through --- so we performed a wrist-twist compromise and thus were able to happily clasp hands all the same.

I only paint my pinky finger nail to limit my chemical exposure to my body.

In choosing to only paint one finger (pinky) on each hand, I have made a chemical compromise.
