Dead to the world
An expression not to be taken literally. A dramatic way of explaining the status of being so overworked, stressed out, sleep deprived, and/or having so much schoolwork that a person feels forced to freeze all social interactions for an extended period of time. Typically used in the form of a declaration, as in "I am now 'dead to the world'" This expression is especially useful when young people live in close quarters with one another such as in a college dormatory. It is commonly acceptable for a person who declares him/herself "dead to the world" to break off all non-essential communications (such as Facebook) and not to show up to planned events or meetings. No further notice should be required aside from the basic declaration. It is the sociological equivalent of the automatic stay in Bankruptcy law. In theory, the declaration of one's "death to the world" provides both a convenient excuse and a temporary protective injunction against social obligations or expectations. This expression is typically written as a Facebook status or on a whiteboard in plain view of its intended audience. Declarants of their death "to the world" should be teased in a friendly or sarcastic way for thinking that by hiding from their friends they will be able to squeeze out an extra ounce of productivity. Declarants should ideally be made to think that declaring death to the world is futile, because a life without friends, even temporarily, is an offense against the fundamental values of humanity. Thus, declaring oneself "dead to the world" presents a paradox. It is a form of self-destruction or sacrifice that simultaneously preserves the self from the shame of failing to meet professional expectations. If a declarant is caught engaging in a social activity and he/she has not revoked the declaration, he/she must receive harsh scorn from friends. The typical response to such a scenario is to heckle the declarant with the following formulation: "Hey, jerk, you said you were dead to the world!"
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Great way to wake up and clear your head every morning with the reminder of the day you woke up dumb enough to spend $32.95 for a basic coffee mug
Couldn't wait until the mug got home. Immediately after i bought it i wet myself. I couldn't help it. I got so bored of waiting i ordered 5 more mugs. And then another 5. And then ANOTHER 5. And now i have fucking 60 mugs that say schizophrenia on them. I only intended on gifting this mug to my schizophrenic younger sibling as a last gift before i inevitably must suffocate him with his own pillow. Now with all these mugs and have decided to put one mug on the old couple across the street's doorstep each day until eventually they are convinced that they are schizophrenic and see things that aren't there. Next i will get them to be taken to a mental institute where they will be locked up to live in an all-white facility for the rest of their lives. My hope is that i can do this to all of the neighbors on my street so i can finally get enough space so that i can run my hamster experiments in peace without my neighbors always wonder what the small hamster screams coming from my basement are. Anyways nice mug 8/10.
