Shaking off the Doom

Detoxing from any drug, but especially alcohol. The mentally and physically uncomfortable (and potentially fatal) withdrawal process which accompanies ceasing the use of one's drug of choice on one's own, i.e. without medical assistance.

"Shaking" refers to the "tremors" (shaking uncontrollably) which accompany this process.

"The Doom" refers any and/or all of the following: 1) the consistent and delusional feeling that something horrible and unstoppable is on the verge of occuring; 2) the "shadows", i.e. visual hallucinations which are the result of "delirium tremens" and/or insomnia; 3) the existential dread, terror, and regret concerning the very real possibility of death from withdrawal; and/or the intense nausea which causes one to be unable to "keep anything down."

Shaking off the Doom does not necessarily incapacitate, in that someone could, for example, still go to school or work while being in the process of it. Oftentimes, however, it is, temporarily, physically and mentally crippling. The Doom is shaken off when one is able to resume normal functioning.
Person 1: "Are you ok? You look like death!"

Person 2: "Yeah, I'm just shaking off the Doom. I've been drinking hard for three weeks straight, but ran outta money and booze."

Doom Looper

Someone who relentlessly watches the same TV series or show over and over again on a "loop of doom" until they can recite the entire script off memory, whilst simultaneously claiming that all current TV offerings are sub-par and not worthy of their attention.
Friend of Doom Looper; Have you seen that new show on Netflix that just came out?

Doom Looper; Nah, it sucks.
Friend of Doom Looper; But you havent seen it?
Doom Looper; I'm currently watching "The Office" for the 645th time.

Doom Loop Exhaustion

Doom Loop Exhaustion (or DLE for short), is when a Doom Looper (someone who watches the same TV show on repeat) has exhausted a particular TV Series or Show to the point where classic jokes or moments don't barely muster a reaction out of them anymore.

Doom Loop Delay

Doom Loop Delay (or DLD for short) is when a Doom Looper (someone who watches the same TV show over and over again) has been so entrenched in their Doom Loop, that they have become out of touch with current affairs & TV shows. Shows they haven't seen seem like they were released yesterday, although most non loopers have probably seen them already. There are varying degrees of DLD, from mild to severe.
Doom Looper in the year 2020; Hey friend, have you seen "Making a Murderer"? Its this CRAZY TV documentary show!
Friend of Doom Looper; Yeah, that came out like 4 years ago? Did you only just see that?
Doom Looper in the year 2020; Yeah I just finished it yesterday...

Friend of Doom Looper; What? What have you been doing?

Doom Looper in the year 2020; I was watching "The Office" for the 645th time...
Friend of Doom Looper; I think you're suffering from Doom Loop Delay.

Doom Looper in the year 2020; That's what she said.
