Gregory V. Richardson's definitions

karplastic

This word describes a person's state of very changable karma. The implication is that the person performs various good and bad actions and is, therefore, not conscious enough to direct actions in a good direction only.

Although he was often a thoughtful person, his occasional impulsive and hurtful actions implied a very karplastic lifestyle.

gnosonarcissist

This word is a combination of "gnosis" (knowledge) and "narcissist" (a self-centered person). So, a gnosonarcissist is a person who believes in a self-centered way that his level of knowledge is correct and/or complete despite what others know. This implies a lack of understanding that others might know more in areas of knowledge in either a horizontal way (breadth of knowledge) or a vertical way (depth of knowledge).

Dudley was a gnosonarcissist who believed that his own limited understanding was better than the the knowledge of others who knew much more.

farmassist

This is a person who helps on the farm and is subject to the direction and complaints rendered by the farmoaner. Of course, the farmassist may eventually need help from the pharmacist who can dispense antidepressants.

The farmassist was sent about the farm to take care of innumberable tasks while the farmoaner complained from the shaded porch with iced tea in hand.
