intervention
when a group of friends get together to help out another friend who has a problem, like drugs, manic depression, beating his wife, etc. usually involves an informal get-together during which the friends all sit down and talk with the person having problems.

Intersectionality
Enough with these long and overly rambly definitions. Intersectionality is a sociological concept that simply denotes how one's race, gender, and socioeconomic class is all interconnected with each other. Simple as that.
Likewise, the term can also denote how race, gender, and class are NOT separate categories, but rather is like a system of categories that are linked to one another.
What this basically means is that a person's identity, and how it may be used to discriminate against them, is multidimensional and depends on the sum of all those aspects (race, gender, class). For example, in the 1950s, the common discourse back then was that black people are being treated unfairly. But what people don't realize at the time was that black women are being treated more unfairly than black men.
So, that is what Intersectionality is in a nutshell. It does not mean anything else, and it should not mean anything else. It is not a derogatory word used to express hatred. It is not political leftist jargon. It is does not originate from Marxist thought. It is not used to express one's 'privilege' over another. So please stop attributing these irrelevant and slandering aspects to this rather insightful term!

Victor: Dang, my sociology prof gave us a super woke lecture on intersectionality.
Chad: Intersectionality? Sounds like another one of those cringey buzzwords used by feminists and SJWs
Victor: Lol, well I hate the break it to you but ur more than wrong. It's a very useful and helpful concept. You only think it's cringey because of the few bitter women who wrongfully use it as a retort in Twitter debates.
Chad: Lol whatever, idc
Victor: Then why'd you even ask???

Divine Jewish Intervention
When an unexplainable occurrence (aka miracle) happens causing/allowing one to save money.
Examples of this phenomenon are plentiful. Finding a coupon right before you're about to buy something. Discovering a discount at the register for something you're about to buy. Noticing that you have an extra $100 in savings you forgot about. Finding an extra $5 in your purse you never knew was there. Tampax being put on sale during the week you just so happened to start your period. The list goes on and on.....

"Honey, remember that resturant we're going to on Friday? I just got a coupon for it in the mail! It's Divine Jewish Intervention!"
"I went to the store expecting to pay $100 for those shoes but Divine Jewish Intervention caused them to only ring up for $80!"

internection
Abbreviation for Internet Connection. It's a term that has become considerably more commonly used, but has not yet been abbreviated. It is easier and quicker to say and can be understood easily, even by someone who has never heard it before.

interactionship
something akin to a friendship or relationship; it's explicitly not a friendship bc it may lack a foundation of trust to start and is traditionally not platonic; it's explicitly not a relationship bc it is not exclusive and lacks rigidity in commitment; it must be highly enjoyable and indulgent despite having an element of confusion due to its ambiguity
the origin stems from the need to refer to a non-traditional exchange between two individuals based off of a verb. 'relationship,' based on 'relate,' was rejected bc it has extremely different connotations. 'exchangeship' was rejected bc it sounds lame.
members of an interactionship may be referred to as 'interactioneers,' pioneering new ways that ppl relate, or as 'interactionauts,' (based off of astronauts), bc 'interactionship' sounds a bit like 'spaceship.'

KPouns: So what's the latest with that guy you hooked up with last weekend? Where is it headed?
JDH2: Who knows? It exceeds definition. I'd classify it as an interactionship at present.
