heterotrophic guilt 

The realization that no matter which diet you follow, you're still eating organisms that were alive at one point, and we have murdered them for our own benefit.
Apparently plants can think and remember? We're killing sentient beings! Crap! Dude, I'm feeling all kinds of heterotrophic guilt right now.

heirographics 

Texts composed of ideograms, especially emojis.
It isn't possible to cut/paste a good example in this text box, but I can describe one (which, by the way, doesn't involve any particular language, but I defaulted to English below).

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
