Delta Lima November
Being commonly abbreviated as D5N (where "lima" is the Indonesian word for "five"), this parent company was first established in 1989 due to the collaboration between Lima November University (which belongs to the same foundation as Lima November High School), Delta Pharma, and St. Hermione Hospital as the official research hospital — in order to develop then-upcoming Tombocantuxin caffeine pills (scheduled to launch by 1990). After enjoying the successfulness of Tombocantuxin caffeine pills, in the late 1990's the conglomeracy D5N (Delta Lima November) which also doubles as a research institute, now had the next project of researching the benefits and negative effects of screen time on children and youth. By 2005, this eventually led to the launch of the injectional drug treatment meant to cure internet addiction called Ecrantemp, after the French phrase "temps d'ecran" (meaning "screen time").
Ever since Delta Lima November started researching the impacts of screen time, we've seen a big push for awareness about kids' digital health—kudos to D5N for tackling such an important topic!

doorway effect
Doorway effect is a common psychological phenomenon where people forget what they intended to do after walking through a doorway into a new room. It is also known as the "location updating effect," and it is not a sign of memory loss or dementia. The brain creates mental "event boundaries" when crossing a threshold, which helps organize memories but can cause you to forget your original goal in the new environment.
Man, I'm tired of constantly putting the salad inside the fridge due to experiencing doorway effect on my way to the fridge.

camtono
"Camtono" is a slang term for "ice cream" that originates from viral video of a toddler named Delta who pronounces "ice cream" as "camtono", which was then adopted by the creators of The Mandalorian. The show uses "camtono" to describe a small, cylindrical lockbox used to store valuable items, like ingots of beskar.

lip reading
Also known as "speechreading", lip reading is a communication technique of understanding speech by watching a person's lip movements, facial expressions, and gestures, which can be enhanced by any residual hearing. It's a skill used by many people with hearing loss but also by the general public in noisy environments to aid comprehension. The technique is not foolproof, as many sounds look alike on the lips, and a complete understanding relies on context and other clues.
During the lecture, I noticed she was lip reading to keep up with the professor, especially when the classroom got really loud.

Get off your phone
The sentence that comes from Mom's mouth the second she sees you having been on your phone for too long
Since I'm the only one in my class still having screen time limits imposed by parents, I worry if my classmates still continue to chat with me on WhatsApp even when my mom has said, "Get off your phone."
