For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Haha, I've heard the term a number of times and my mind always just jumped to constipation.

That feeling when you realize that you have reached that age where your first thought on hearing new slang is that it's an ailment:

Bricked up = constipated

Rizz = that burning sensation that makes you feel like you have to pee, but hurts when you try because you have a urinary infection.

On fleek = explosive diarrhea that is so bad that you don't leave the bathroom between bouts. In fact, at some point you don't even bother to pull up your underpants anymore. You just pace back and forth in the restroom with your underpants dragging around 1 ankle.

Thought it meant stored up, you see it most often during No Nut November

As far as I know it means erect. Which, you know, if a bunch of young dudes spend a whole month edging it makes sense they are frequently in November.
