I'm shopping for someone else...

Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.
Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

if-else merchant

A joking or mildly insulting way to describe a programmer who relies heavily on long chains of if / else statements instead of using better programming structures.
This codebase was clearly written by an if-else merchant — it’s just nested conditionals all the way down.

Protect your energy above all else

Protecting your energy means being cautious who, where, and what you put your time into. Protecting your energy involves judging your reactions based on how much involvement you want in a person or situation. Protecting your energy means to allow your heart and mind to work together. To live in the moment with being concerned for the future and without being hateful of the past.
You need to protect your energy above all else.

Something that isn't the same something as before.

The word something divide the set of the english words in two sets, the first one called something with just one element and the other with "infinite elements" called "something else"
If you are something, then you aren't "something else"; but if you aren't "something", then you are something else.

I heard something else

I heard something else is pretty much what you think you heard, but it’s dirty.

I heard something else,” Damian replied in a smug manner.
