Amerarcana

A future word describing indecipherable objects: mysterious red-white-and-blue cloth, tattered paperback copies of the Constitution, Barbie dolls, portraits of Thomas Jefferson, carved Philadelphia chairs, dog licenses, coins, photos of things called World Trade Center and Golden Gate Bridge.

turning 21

The age at which a person, and America, are due to attain maturity.

social duhstancing

Pandemic precautions so obvious that they should not have to be explained.

Don't stand in the midst of a crowded bar, don't hug and kiss strangers, don't take selfies with friends... because it could kill you. Yes, really. Lots of people already know this. It's called social duhstancing.
