Word of the Week: O.SEAT.D
Posted by TJ under Word of the Week
O.SEAT.D. \Oh SEET Dee\ noun: Obsessive-compulsive affliction affecting the neurosystems of many longtime commuters in which they need to sit in the same seat on the train each day, and become highly agitated should another rider be in “their” seat.
Usage: I got the craziest stink-eye from this dude who apparently really wanted the seat I was in.
