These definitions were left out of my original submission to UD, back in 2004:

1) everything outside the box, or everything not in 'the box.'
2) a state of dwelling/existing outside 'the box,"
3) living in a completely self-defined and not necessarily definable Universe
Most people speak in terms of 'thinking outside the box'; those of us who dwell entirely 'outside the box' - whose very Life is 'other than box' - exist in another, undefinable space that is "notopos."

Coined from Greek and Latin, originally defined as "nowhere" or "no place." This word was coined and first published by Jonas Moses, in 1987. While originally intended as an inside joke between college friends, the word "notopos" has re-appeared frequently over the past ten or more years (seen in one publication or another since the early 1990's) in reference to lofty ideas such as universal enlightenment, to everyday observations about Life and human relationships and, more pragmatically, as the name of a company engaged in Internet-based business services.
1) {Philosophy} "Where can Truth be found, my friend? In 'notopos,' of course!"

2) {Slang} "Dude, don't let her get to you...that woman is 'notopos!'"

3) {Business}: "'notopos univers' wishes to announce it new Cell and Tissue Engineering Division."

Notsposteetums (Not-Suppose-To-Eat-Em)
those berries that bloom on trees in the spring. A lot of people say "Don't eat them!" (Hence the name) but they are perfectly fine to eat, but wash them first. They have big pits in the middle, crunchy like an apple, red, about the size of a water bottle cap, and are super sour.
Dude we went hunting for Notsposteetums yesterday and ate a whole bunch. They're so damn delicious!
The Notoros protocol disorder is the mindset of a person with extreme narcissistic personality disorder and illusory superiority, a condition of cognitive bias wherein a person overestimates their own qualities and abilities, and characterized by a long-term pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive craving for admiration, and struggles with empathy. People with Notoros protocol disorder often spend much time daydreaming about achieving power and success, and perceive injustice for failing to do so. They often result to lying, cheating, and taking destructive actions in an attempt to achieve the power and success that they day dream about. This is a pattern of obsessive thoughts and unstable sense of identity, often to cope with a sub-par real life.
He was never able to achieve success due to his Notoros disorder.
