A self-constructed and coherent philosophy, aesthetic, or way of being in the world. Derives from within and is never articulated, so experts find it difficult to quantify. As a way of life, it is followed without thought. Lonerism is a method of survival above all else. References include Tame Impala’s studio album by the same name.

Dude: I decided to follow a life laid out for me by the tenets of lonerism.

Nutshot

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
