- alcotest mode71%
The state of being hyper-vigilant about alcohol consumption — monitoring everyone's drinks, questioning decisions, and acting like a human breathalyzer. Often applied to the group's self-appointed responsible adult.
- alcotester69%
Someone who tests others' sobriety — either literally with a device or figuratively, the person at the party who judges how wasted everyone is and decides who's too far gone. Can be used affectionately or as a mild diss for the buzzkill.
- unspoken assholed67%
The mutually acknowledged but never verbalized understanding in a group that someone is behaving badly — everyone sees it, no one says it out loud, and the offender remains oblivious. Captures the social tension of collective recognition without confrontation.
- unspoken eval64%
The silent, mutual assessment happening beneath a social interaction that nobody names out loud. An unspoken eval is the vibe check you're both running on each other during a first date, job interview, or new friend hangout — everyone knows it's happening, but saying so would collapse the pretense. The results show up later in whether someone texts back, gets the offer, or gets invited to the next thing.
