Ophthalmophilia

Attraction to and love for someone due to the beauty of their eyes.

Citation Nazi

Someone who demands citation for everything. A Citation Nazi will require you to provide sources of reference for your own original inventions, widely accepted knowledge, and even for your self-reflections.
I wrote in my physics term paper that the Earth revolves around the Sun. My professor returned it asking to provide citations. He wanted my friend to cite a source for her statement "I believe aliens live among us". Such a Citation Nazi!

Retrovation

Retro-innovation. Innovation that happens when people resist change or when they go back to a state before the change was brought in. Remember, standard definitions of innovation is built around change and consider resistance to change anti-innovative.
People are increasingly going back to the good old days. Retrovation is evident in many new products that we use. Organic, fertilizer free farming is popular again. At the very least, we apply retro-filters on our digital images when we cannot get back to the real bygones. Retrovert has actually become a personality type, just like introvert and extrovert.

Impathy

Noone needs more empathy from you than yourself. In other words, you need to have some impathy. Actually, you can't be genuinely empathetic without first being impathetic.
