Haha I had no idea what a melt was so googled it - apparently its a derogatory term used 'between males' on Love Island
Need I say more

Certainly a derogatory term but one that has been around long before love island, which, by the way, I have never seen.
Edit. I heard the term being used by some young lads I know years ago but stand to be corrected as I was unaware that love island has been around since 2005!

melt.... i've also never watched Love Island... probably in the past it was similar to "wuss" or "pansy".
i expect now it is similar to everybody's favourite word of the era... "snowflake" (although i would term snowflake as more related to a mental/political/etc context, where melt could relate to any type of physical/emotional/mental context...)
Getting back on thread, I think everyone is getting a little carried away with the roll out of the Coronavirus vaccine, especially in terms of when it will be available.
I'm still waiting for my flu jab. Being under 65 I have to pay for it, which I do at my local Lloyds chemist every year for £16.
This year I have been told, virtually every week since the start of September, by my GP surgery, Lloyds and Boots that there is none available yet for under 65's and to try again next week.
Have the authorities forgotten that thousands die of Flu every year!

I'm 55 and have been getting messages online to advise me to book my flu jab. I assumed I'd hit the age to trigger it.
It seems not.
I can't recall ever having had flu. Maybe I did when a child but I can't recall it. If I've had it, it's manifested more like a cold with me.
My wife had it last when she was 21, 35 years ago nearly. It floored her for around two weeks.

I'm 63 and qualify for a flu jab through getting pericarditis in 2015, and suffering with and all sorts of side effects for quite a while afterwards (heart palpitations, muscle spasms and all sorts). I finally got my flu jab last week. That said due to covid and lockdown etc, flu cases are down massively this year
An educational thread today, I've learnt new words I never even knew existed. But being officially old I won't remember them.
