Tommaloning


dropping out of a respected educational inst-tution/job/relationship and giving the reason “because i couldn’t be bothered anymore”, instead of being asked to leave (which would inevitably have happened a few weeks later).

this is a fairly common response to when performance falters and the person in question is aware that those responsible for the continuation of the current arrangement – be it work, education or a relationship – are close to severing ties.

the word is formed of two parts:

toma/tomme: a soft, french cow’s milk cheese, created when there is too little milk to form a full cheese. (an -n-logy for the person’s failure to complete their agreed contract)

alone: a simple description of the feeling of isolation experienced by said person, once arrangement has been terminated. this can be through loss of contact with work/cl-ss mates, arguments with exes or simply a feeling of inferiority when comparing oneself to peers.

pr-nunciation: tom-a-loaned
i think my mate is thinking about tommaloning, the princ-p-l has demanded a meeting next week, and he doesn’t want to tell his parents he’s been kicked out.
