"They don't know I'm latibulating."

Oh good, there's a name for it.

"Come over! My parents aren't home.

Can't. Must Latibulate."

I would guess it's closer to la-ti-byoo-layt

Latibulating, like a lot, this weekend, obviously!

Gonna name my Valheim village "Latibulationville."

TIL the 1600s had already discovered bedrotting

Holy shit, it's legit. Just looked it up

La tib yoo layt

Word of the goddamn century. Something went very wrong when we entered this millennium

Replace "hide in a corner" with almost anything and it works just as well. We all do it, both consciously and unconsciously for most of the time we're alive.

Not seeing any reference to "escaping reality" in any of the online dictionaries.

she probably came up with that one while in a tent in Kent

Saying "hide in a corner" is easier and nearly as many syllables so I understand why it dropped.
