Stop saying “self-isolation,” “social distancing,” and “self-quarantine.”
Say, “exiled for the good of the realm.” You’ll feel significantly more badass.

I’m not “social distancing.” I’ve just been exiled for the good of the realm. #WordsMatter

I think exiled for the good of the realm is a much better term than social distancing. #COVID19 #QuarantineLife #stayhomechallenge #coronavirus

“Social Distancing” is such a boring way to describe what we’re doing.
“Exiled for the Good of the Realm” sounds MUCH more interesting.
