Remember the dark days of the Covid lockdown? Let’s take a trip down memory lane with “lockdown lingo”.

Coronacoaster: The ups and downs of your mood during the pandemic. You loved lockdown one minute but were suddenly weepy with anxiety the next. It truly was “an emotional coronacoaster”.

Quarantinis: Experimental cocktails mixed from whatever random ingredients you had left in the house. The boozy equivalent of a store cupboard supper. Southern Comfort and Ribena quarantini with a glacé cherry garnish, anyone? These were sipped at “locktail hour”, i.e. “wine o’clock” during lockdown, which seemed creep earlier with each passing week.

Coronials: As opposed to millennials, this referred to the future generation of babies conceived during the coronavirus quarantine. They might also become known as “Generation C” or, more spookily, “Children of the Quarn”.

Furlough Merlot: Wine consumed to relieve the frustration of not working. Also known as “bored-eaux” or “cabernet tedium”.

Coronadose: An overdose of bad news from consuming too much media during a time of crisis. It could result in a “panicdemic”.

The elephant in the Zoom: The glaring issue during a videoconferencing call that nobody felt able to mention. For example, participant had dramatically put on weight, suddenly sprouted terrible facial hair, or had a worryingly messy house visible in the background.

Quentin Quarantino: An attention-seeker using their time in lockdown to make amateur films that they were convinced were funnier and cleverer than they actually were.

Covidiot or Wuhan-ker: One who ignored public health advice or behaved with reckless disregard for the safety of others was said to display “covidiocy” or be “covidiotic”. Also called a “lockclown” or even a “Wuhan-ker”.

Goutbreak: The sudden fear that you had consumed so much wine, cheese, home-made cake, and Easter chocolate in lockdown that your ankles were swelling up like a medieval king’s.

Antisocial distancing: Using health precautions as an excuse for snubbing neighbours and generally ignoring people you found irritating.

Coughin’ dodger: Someone so alarmed by an innocuous splutter or throat-clear that they backed away in terror.

Mask-ara: Extra make-up applied to “make one’s eyes pop” before venturing out in public wearing a face mask.

Covid-10: The 10 kilograms in weight that we gained from comfort-eating and comfort-drinking. Also known as “fattening the curve”.
