second-handed

When you weren’t invited directly by the host of an event, but got in through someone else’s invite. Often feels like a social snub if you know the host and expected them to ask you personally.

“I didn’t get the invite from Sarah — I was second-handed through Tom.”

“Don’t second-hand me, just ask me yourself.”

Second Lead Syndrome

Second Lead Syndrome is when the main character of a show/book is in a love triangle and the main character is leaning towards the primary lead/ the first love interest but the audience is rooting for the second lead/ the second love interest to end up with the main character.

Me: “Ugh, I really want belly to end up with Conrad, they have YEARNED for each other !!”

Friend: “Oh wow, you’ve got second lead syndrome bad”

0.0001 seconds after

A playful terminology used by internet memes to convey the idea of "as soon as." It emphasizes the immediacy of an action, often in a humorous or exaggerated manner.

I'll get started on that project 0.0001 seconds after you send me the details!

second-class citizen

Persons who can only have limited durations of screen time (e.g. 1~3 hours per day) whilst seeing surrounding people having unlimited screen time allotment

I felt like a second-class citizen when my friends were binge-watching shows all day, and I was stuck with just a couple of hours on the weekend!

Post-Second-Date Phenomenon

The phenomenon of feeling hatred and disgust following a second date with someone. Typically, the first date goes really well: you feel excited at the potential of this suitor. However, when the second date comes along, you encounter an intrusive mental blockage that prohibits you from enjoying this experience any longer. Externally, there is no issue: the date is perfect on paper. However, when reflecting on the experience, you feel a retrospective sense of repulsion that can’t be attributed to any instance. Your internal sabotage taints the image of your date, halting any prospective relationship.

“I was really excited to go on a second date with this guy because the first date went so well, but it just ended and I feel so awful and gross! It was a totally normal time: what is wrong with me? What do you think happened?” “Girl, that’s the post-second-date phenomenon!”
