I learned a new bit of ephemeral slang.

I give it another year or two, tops, now that it's getting some play (perhaps after use on TV's "New Girl" last fall). But that's not to say it isn't useful. It's "emotional fluffer." Evocative, no?

(ETA: why does this site keep adding "blah" as my mood? I am never intending to label posts with a mood of "blah", or a mood in general, really, since, like, year 1 of my typing here.)
