Living Rent Free
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
See 'rent free.' When a thought, person, or song occupies your mind constantly without you wanting it to. They're living in your head and not paying rent.
Translation for Parents
Same as rent free — when you can't stop thinking about something. That song from the commercial? Rent free. Your kid's college tuition? VERY rent free. The thing is, the most annoying thoughts are always the ones that move in permanently.
Examples
“That embarrassing moment from 5th grade is still living rent free”
“I still randomly think about that embarrassing thing from years ago”
“He lives rent free in her head and he doesn't even know she exists”
“She's constantly thinking about him but he has no idea”

Safe to use
This concept is universal. Everyone has unwanted tenants in their brain. Share yours freely. Misery loves company.
