Gollyplot

Someone who is versed in all sorts of different conspiracy theories, from all over the world, even in different languages...and who spews them gladly and constantly.
"His high-school knowledge of French combined with his ravenous appetite for arcane, unprovable, specious knowledge made him a gollyplot par excellence! He spread the 'secret' of Emmanuel Macron's lascivious habit of dressing up as the Empress Joséphine far-and-wide on the social media platforms, under his nom-de-plume: Pendraggin. "

Fuchs' Acres

A place, possibly near Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where people go who haven’t told others WHERE they are going. As in the question, “Where in Fuchs’ Acres have you BEEN???”
The place is famous because some folks simply go there for Fuchs' Sake, to get away from it all, as it were.
One could also ask, "Where for Fuchs' Sake have you BEEN???", but this latter is less appreciated in polite company.....

Egopath

Egopathy is more socially acceptable than psychopathy, as self-interest is encouraged and praised in countries where liberal capitalism is the central economic system...but it is certainly not limited only to these types of systems.

It is a general condition of human beings.

On the "pure-self-interest --group-solidarity/altruism" scale Egopaths skew strongly to egocentrism and self-interest;
I didn't think that the DSM definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorders quite fits the bill and this apparently widespread phenomenon needed a new category: definitely under the DSM Cluster B Group (Anitsocial-Borderline-Histrionic-Narcissistic), but with a more social-/group-mentality component to it.

The term "egopath" popped into my head one morning, but discovered it already had a definition.

There is in my definition the whole aspect of wanting to control and defend, however one has defined it, one's "integrity" -- bodily, cognitive, spiritual, destiny related -- against forces encroaching on, pushing for this integrity's demise, disintegration.

We are all on this continuum, but egopaths tend to be more cowardly, fearful, self-interested and self-preserving.
N.B. Egopathy seems to be a) widespread and b) quite socially acceptable in many countries.

For example, in German-speaking Switzerland, they say, "Geiz ist Geil!".

Translated: "Greediness is Great/Cool!"
1) During the Covid pandemic, my best-friend turned out to be a total egopath, not wanting to even visit us despite our double-vaccination and social-distancing, for fear of her getting it herself or somehow losing her sense of smell.

2) They were such egopaths during the pandemic that they flew to a vacation in Croatia by plane, but then drove back in a mini-bus accross the Italian border to avoid the stringencies of the controls at their home airport.
