Lockdown 180

Lockdown Day 180 - 22 September 2020

After shocking us into house "arrest", Lockdown caused us to unwillingly settle into what is now called our new normal.  In a bid to make things better, (or should I say funnier) the jokes flowed freely.  I had immense fun with funny Lockdown puns memes like these posts on social media:

"For those who wanted a world with no vaccines....... this is what the world looks like when it has only ONE vaccine missing."

Ghana's Prez said, "We know how to bring the economy back to life. What we do not know is how to bring people back to life." 

 I stumbled upon an article that described how Lockdown  has added new words to our vocabulary. So, tonight I share with you the Lockdown Lingo 2020:

Quarantinis

Experimental cocktails mixed from leftovers in the house. Fruit squash, bit of fizzy pop and that random bottle of booze you won on golf saturday:  Bombs away.

Locktail hour

'Wine o'clock' in the lockdown era.

Coronials

Move over millennials, quarantine babies will be the coronials. We will need to wait and see if every birthday cake will be a shoddily made and tasteless banana bread.

Furlough Merlot

When you use this downtime to become a sommelier by watching hours of YouTube tutorials. 

Also referred to as “bored-eaux” and “cabernet tedium”

The Elephant in the Zoom

Zoomstuff: Bad DIY haircut, bombsite house in the background, facial hair or wearing a towel because nothing else fits.

Quentin Quarantino

This attention-seeker is now making amateur films, convinced they're funnier and cleverer than they actually are. Most likely to have 'discovered' TikTok at some point in early April.

Covidiot

Someone who thinks wearing a mask with his nose out isn't like having your undies down.

Goutbreak

The sudden fear that all the wine, cheese, homemade cake and Easter eggs in lockdown gave you elephant ankles.

Anti-social distancing

Using lockdown as the perfect reason to avoid everyone you don't like.

Mask-ara

If people can only see your eyes, you better make them 'pop!' before venturing out in public wearing a surgical mask.

Fattening the curve

It doesn't matter how many online workouts you do, it won't cancel out all the banana bread and quarantinis!

May these funnies ignite the joy of the Lord in your spirit! He's got this!
