A phrase that describes when you have to check the source of an absurd headline to see if it's real or not (from "The Onion").

🔘Social Distancing
◻️Isolating from other people
Social distancing is the act of isolating yourself or extending the distance between you and other people. It involves staying away from other people and avoiding public spaces.
Health officials may recommend social distancing to slow or prevent the spread of an infectious disease like influenza, Ebola, or the coronavirus (COVID-19). Examples include staying at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from other people in public, limiting the number of people in a space, and quarantining/isolating yourself in your house.
If the contagious disease becomes severe, more strict guidelines may be put in place. The government may close places where people often congregate, such as schools, workplaces, restaurants, malls, and stores to curb the spread.
"Social distancing" became prominent in early 2020 as a means to curb the spread and "flatten the curve" of COVID-19.
❓Example
"I am social distancing from my family because of COVID-19."
"Aaaaaand because you got in a fight with your sister."

◻️I'm going for it
Shoot my shot is a phrase that refers to when you take a chance on something. It is similar to the "go for it" phrase and can be used for when you finally ask out a crush or stand up to a bully.
"Shoot my shot" involves gathering up the confidence to do something that you are normally too scared to do, and take matters into your own hands. The phrase comes from the idea of shooting a gun with a single bullet or taking an open shot in basketball or hockey.
