I’ve been trying to coin a term for this phenomenon for a while now. Let’s say you’re walking down the street and something catches your eye. It could be a hot girl, a sign, um, a car… Oh, who am I kidding? It’s always a hot girl. But it’s out of the corner of your eye, and something is in the way. All you can see is the back of her head or half of her face, so you’re not sure if she’s that attractive. So you keep walking, trying to get a better look, but the lamp post or the tree or the scaffolding pole or the column always in the way. She’s walking in the opposite direction and the object somehow stays exactly in between you and her. It’s like a solar eclipse where unseen forces are at work to bring about a huge coincidence, but instead of the moon blocking your view of a hot ball of gas, an inanimate object is blocking a hot piece of ass. It rhymes so it has to be true.
I’ve been trying to come up with a catchy phrase for this because it’s constantly happening, and it needs wider recognition. Here are my suggestions. Feel free to weigh in on it and suggest your own. Hopefully this will blow up like Stereogum’s recent ‘You might be an indie-yuppie if…’ contest.
- Stalk blocked
- Voyeur eclipse
- Ogle obstacle
- Obst-ogle
- Denied of sight
Put your puns where your mouths are, people!
