freakout
(slang) A frightening or disorientating experience, especially one that results from the use of a hallucinogenic drug.
Seen in the wild
I had this freakout last July. You know what it feels like? The same. It's disconcerting a little, but still good
Good piece. I was hopeful KF would continue, maybe talking about Tucker Carlson or more Bill Cooper retrospectives. But it's hard to see how they could professionally move on after Jordan's freakout.
I know it’s been said a million times, but can you IMAGINE the freakout if any previous Prez said this kind of thing in the Oval with a bunch of elementary school kids next to him?
Okay I tuckered myself out with my little tantrum freakout, need a juicebox and nap time
I'd say half a million in 40 minutes is respectable, no? All we want is your love, Sam, but we'll take a tiny cardboard cutout of you as a substitute if we must. Show us the freakout if there's a freakout?
