salivate

I know my parents would freak out if they knew I played that violent video game called "GTA 5", but it was just screwveneer during the sleepover at my friend's house last night!

bossception

Originating from the term "boss" and the suffix "-ception", this contraction of "your boss having his own bosses" refers to the phenomenon where your boss might be under pressure from his own bosses and is passing that stress down. He may be concentrating on a specific goal and need to ensure everyone on the team is performing accordingly.

Ever since the new project started, my boss has been acting super stressed—it's classic bossception; he's just passing down the pressure from his own higher-ups!

luggage

Also known as "baggage" or "cargo", this term refers to something heavy that you carry around wherever you go, often used to describe physical items but can also refer to emotional or psychological burdens.

subscribe

The digital equivalent of "tipping" on YouTube, where subscribing is meant as a form of support for channels. However, the YouTube algorithm interprets this as a signal that you have more time to watch videos. Subscribing to more channels doesn't magically ease your parents' screen time limits — it's akin to tipping whilst dining at a restaurant, indicating that the service deserves a higher wage, not that your stomach can hold more food.

I subscribed to ten new channels to show my support, but my parents still treat it like I've signed up for a marathon of screen time—it's just a digital equivalent of "tipping", not a signal that I want to binge-watch YouTube!
