PHRASE · LOADING SCREEN OF THE MIND
A jokey way to say your mind is completely blank, often in a calm or cute way, or because you’re tired, distracted or overwhelmed. It is usually used about yourself.
ZACK’S TRANSLATION
The screensaver of the mind. Restful, until someone asks you a question in a meeting.
“Exam’s over. No thoughts, head empty.”
The exam knew. The exam always knows.
“Me at 3pm on a Friday: no thoughts, head empty.”
Same at 9am on a Monday, but with dread.
“What do you want for dinner?” “No thoughts.”
That’s how you end up with cereal.
