tp-19
"tp19" is used as a noun, a verb, an adjective and an adverb.
These words relate to the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020. The noun form is a number, a factor, by which the amount of toilet paper used per bowel movement increases from approximately 19 sheets per flush to something like 19 rolls per flush. This number will eventually be established, like pi (3.14159) as not necessarily being 19, but something close, and will not be verified by mathematicians, epidemiologists and virologists, but by psychologists, sociologists, and historians. It stands to become a famous scientific constant in human evolution. As a verb, it is much simpler. It is a description of a variety of actions an individual will utilize in the attempt to acquire important items such as toilet paper and paper towels when facing unavoidable self-induced global scarcity. As an adjective, it is used to describe those people who may either be overreacting, or - using perspicacious judgment - reacting in an effective Darwinian fashion, in order to survive a pandemic. The validity of each use is at this time unclear. The adverb form, similar to the adjective, is descriptive of an action performed as a result of a perspective that is either utterly anxious or pointedly perspicacious.
