Platitude salad 

Similar to a word salad.

platitude salad

The language used by public figures to the effect of placating and/or galvanising an audience that in order to gain their trust. Politically this may lead to more votes.

However, there is usually zero substance and legitimacy in what is being said and no follow-through.
Ivanka Trump’s entire commencement speech was a gigantic platitude salad. She tried to come across as sincere but it was clearly disingenuous. What a Karen.

Extinction Illness 

The root of all contemporary mental, physical, and spiritual diseases. Extinction Illness, the essential cellular knowledge and terror that one’s life, one’s people’s lives, all life is threatened, that lineage is disappearing, that we, all, may well become extinct within a very short period of time, that the future will be eradicated.

Our bodies, minds, souls are reeling with the terrible reality of what we have done, are doing, consciously and unconsciously. Extinction is our fault. The unconscious knows. The soul knows. The connected life system knows even if the individual isn’t consciously aware. He/she/they were born into the network of all life and Life knows too. As Ubuntu teaches, “I am because you are,” which now we must rephrase: I will not be because you will not be. I will not be if you will not be.

Extinction Illness. A world condition and a world affliction. Perhaps this systemic affliction is at the root of all our current global plagues, diseases, and illnesses.
There is pharmaceutical for Extinction Illness, and none for Extinction. Extinction Illness tells us that we cannot survive alone as the life force and life cycles depend absolutely on diversity and the abundance of all the life forms. We have to save everyone’s life, human and non-human.

Conversation Rapist 

A person who forces themselves onto other people conversationally. They will intrude in your personal sphere by forcing conversation (usually of low quality) onto you.
I came into work this morning hoping for some peace and quiet and I had to endure it in both ears from John and Janet. It was like I was being spit roasted by them. They're such conversation rapists.

overhyped 

Basically means overrated. But when something is overhyped it is really too much. Been there, done that. Enough said.

Can be used to say to describe a state of high elation.
I am feeling totally overhyped after watching that bboying vid! It was sick!

Christmas is totally overhyped, it's not even gone October yet and we're already being bombared from every direction with it, as if preparing for it were the single most important oncoming event in our lives.
