FPS

egoist
A pejorative term for parents who take their small children to the cinema with them, even though the children are too young to akcually have the attention span to enjoy movies while the content of the movie happens to be too inappropriate for the children to watch.
Watching that intense action movie full of violence titled "John Wick 3: Parabellum" (2019) with all those kids in the theater made me realize how some parents are total egoists, dragging their little ones into inappropriate films!

Calpis
A beverage of Japanese origin known for its unique flavor, which some humorously suggest resembles "cow piss". Despite the quirky name, its main ingredient is actually lemon water, giving it a refreshing and tangy taste.
I tried Calpis for the first time, and despite its odd name sounding like "cow piss", it was surprisingly delicious and very refreshing!

Once Upon A Smartphone
Having its "Once Upon A" prefix named after "Once Upon A Deadpool" (2018), Once Upon A Smartphone is a version of smartphone watered down for kids. This is intended to be a Christmas gift rather than akcually being used as a functional tool, as kids are prone to asking for smartphone to Santa during Christmas even though they're still too young for smartphone.
Instead of a real phone, I got my little brother a Once Upon A Smartphone for Christmas—now he can pretend to text and play games without the screen time worries!

Marjan effect
A slang term for "seasonal marketing," named after the T.V. ads for Marjan syrup that only appear during the fasting month of Ramadan. This effect highlights how certain products become heavily marketed during specific seasons to capitalize on consumer behavior.
You can really see the Marjan effect in action when Ramadan approaches, with all the ads for food and drinks flooding the screens!

After implementing the FuCK file in my project, the performance improved significantly thanks to the efficient thread management!
