🔘Corona Bump
◻️Elbow bump with a person to avoid spreading the coronavirus
A Corona bump is when two or more people bump their elbows as an alternative to shaking hands. It is done with the intention of limiting the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The term was coined as the COVID-19 virus reached the United States in early March 2020. Some health officials and politicians began doing it as a substitute for the normal handshake and people online began referring to it as the "Corona bump."
The social maneuver is part of an overall effort to increase social distancing among individuals to slow the virus. However, it is still not completely effective as the virus can be transferred through sneezed or cough droplets. And if you are close enough to tap elbows, you are close enough to catch coughed or sneezed droplets. Because of this, some people choose to do an "air-five" or mime a handshake at least 6 feet away from the other person.
❓Example
"Do you think I should give her dad and mom a corona bump when I meet them?"

🔘 Extra
Over the top
Extra is a slang term that refers to a person who is over the top, most likely in an annoying way. The person is being overly dramatic and needs to be reined in, such as a plastered broseph trying to jump from a house roof into the pool or a teacher that is too strict. The term may also describe a person who is trying too hard, whether it be attempting to fit in or throw the best party ever.
Typically, extra is used as a negative term, similar to basic, and is meant to be a criticism of a person's behavior. If you are called "extra" you should try to take a step back and chill. It is commonly used as a noun or adjective.
❓Example
"You going to Tiffany's house later?"
"No, I can't handle her, everything about her is extra and I don't need that in my life right now."

🔘 Catch And Release
◻️To flirt with someone then stop when the person wants commitment
Catch and release is a dating term that refers to when someone flirts with a person then stops once she likes him back. It comes from the "catch and release" term associated with hunting and fishing for animals then releasing them after catching them.
People who like catch and release are known for liking the "chase" but not the commitment. Catch and release comes with a heightened level of excitement from the thrill of the chase. Things like flirty texts, alluring glances, and romantic gestures are a lot of fun but actually committing to a ship is too much to ask for.

"He won't even return her texts.
Yeah, he's known for his love of the catch and release."

🔘Diva
◻️A self-important, demanding person
Originally, the term diva was used only to describe glamorous, talented female singers. However, because some of those singers are considered incredibly demanding, diva can now be used to refer to any demanding person (typically, a woman).
What is the origin of diva?
Diva is the Latin word for goddess. As opera grew popular in Italy, successful female stars were labeled divas, to note their larger-than-life style and presence.
In the modern age, diva crossed the divide between opera and pop music. Talented female singers who exude stage presence and personality are often labeled divas. In many cases, people admire these sorts of divas.
However, because some divas are temperamental and hard to please, diva gained a secondary meaning. Now, volatile and/or whiny people of all stripes may also be labeled divas.
❓Example
"Stop being such a diva and get over yourself!"

🔘Friend Zone
◽️A relationship where a person's love interest thinks of him as just a friend
Friend zone is the area of a relationship where one person is romantically interested in another person but he or she thinks of the other as just a friend. The relationship typically consists of a male who is pursuing a female that appreciates the attention but is only interested in being a friend.
Unfortunately for a lot of guys, the friend zone is where a lot of romantic pursuits die. The area is a common problem for many "nice" guys and girls that are so nice they are thought of friends by their baes instead of love interests. Even though it is tough to get out of the friend zone, it is not impossible, unlike the brotherzone.
❓Example
"She just gave him a high five when he went in for a kiss.

🔘 Leftist
◻️ A person with radical left-wing political views
A leftist is a person who has radical views on the left side of the political spectrum. While great variation exists in Leftism, the main tenant is social equality (often referred to as "socialism"), which is achieved through robust government regulations and high taxation of the rich to help the poor and disadvantaged.
The term comes from "Left" (the left-wing of the political spectrum), which is an idea borne from the French Revolution in the late-1700s. The "Left" and "Right" labels corresponded with where people with liberal or conservative ideas sat in the French Estates General (a legislative assembly).
In modern American politics, the term is primarily used to refer to radical progressives in the Democratic party. It is often interchanged with "liberalism" but is different, being farther on the left side of the spectrum. Some prominent issues important to Leftists include social and economic equality (LGBTQ, feminist, and civil rights movements), environmental conservation, distinct separation of church and state, and anti-nationalism, which some label as Marxist and "Globalism."
Conservatives often use "leftist" to label radical Democrats, such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). You will typically see the term on social media during the election season, in political news articles and blogs, and hear it on 24/7 cable news channels.
❓Example
"Leftists are ruining this country!"
"OK, boomer."
