| 1. | semantophile | ||
|
A person who, in an attempt to be righteous, cannot hold a regular conversation due to his or her undying need to argue the semantics of the second person's speech (Victoria is the semantophile in the following conversation)
Elie: I can't stand when people argue semantics. Victoria: But if by "argue" you mean they take a stand against what might be a culturally accepted term for you, then technically you're not looking at their point of view. Elie: But you're missing the point... Victoria: If "the point" is open to interpretation then one can never so-called "miss" it. Elie: Oh god... |

| 2. | meal disappointment | ||
|
The extreme emotional let-down experienced when one has high expectations for a meal, and the meal turns out to be bad. Sally: What's wrong?
Susie: I got a bad case of meal disappointment. I worked through lunch, and was starving after work so I stopped for Chinese food on the way home. It smelled so good in the car, but when I took a bite it was too salty. I was hungry so I ate it anyways, but I can't shake the meal disappointment. Sally: That sucks. |

| 3. | pixel delerium | ||
|
Video game induced stupor developed after playing obsessively for hours on end. We spent so long trying to beat that level last night that I ended up with pixel delerium. I could hardly focus on the road driving home afterwards.
