Saliva
A lubricating fluid secreted from the mouth. Saliva is tasteless in the mouth but smells nasty as fuck when dried on the skin or on your pillow case. Despite how icky saliva smells externally, it is a very popular choice as a personal lubricant (and the only possible choice of lubricant in fellatio).
(Friend 1 invites Friend 2 over for the night)
Friend 2: Ewwww what is that smell on your pillow case??
Friend 1: Oh I tend to drool a lot so that's the smell of my saliva
Friend 2: Bruh......

Snoo
Snoo is the mascot of Reddit and I fucking hate it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the mascot itself. Snoo is an adorable plump alien that gives off cute teletubby vibes... and thats exactly what I have a problem with.
It's quite ironic to use such a "happy-go-lucky" alien when the majority of its userbase consists of pricks and obstinate assholes that fully negates the welcoming charismatic vibe that Reddit attempts to portray. While toxicity exists on all platforms, the way reddit is engineered just promotes dissent. You feel as if youre defending for your life with everything you say (and I know many feel this way too). And if the thread isn't toxic, it's just way too sober.
There are mascots that do justice to its platform. The cute yak of Yik Yak (now defunct) aligns perfectly with the cute vibe of the platform. Twitter is toxic AF, but the neutral depiction of the bluebird still fits. The cheerful depiction of Snoo, at least in the Reddit app, doesn't fit at all with its sober bittersweet environment.
Also, Reddit seems to capture a large demographic of late 20s-30s people. Idk about you, but Snoo seems to be more fitting towards Gen Z. With the exception of r/memes or r/teens, reddit really isn't the place for kids/teens so Reddit's depiction of Snoo just isnt holding up IMHO.
Only those that have 1) barely used Reddit, 2) only dwell in specific hobby communities, or 3) only visit cheerful, wholesome and kid-friendly subreddits will find Snoo to be fitting.

Self-actualization
In layman's terms, self-actualization is when you have reaped the maximum potential out of your personal talents, abilities, creativities and ambitions. Self-actualization only happens when all your lower primal needs have been met (e.g. physiological needs, emotional needs).
While self-actualization initially paints a pretty picture inside your head, do not be fooled as the journey is actually quite excruciating. In order to become fully self-actualized you'd have to push yourself to the limits. You'd have to devote yourself solely towards your ambitions and talents, no slacking or fun and games. The world's biggest entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs were 100% self-actualized, but boy they were under a lot of stress and often overworked to the core.
In summary, self-actualization is a very good thing, but it's not for the weak-minded.

Me in first year psych: *after learning about the concept* Wow I want to achieve self-actualization!!!
Me in my fourth year: *suddenly realizes that self-actualization takes hard work and pure dedication* Ehh I think I'll just live a chill life

Tier 4 sub
Does not exist.
Random_user_A: hey man you're making some great content, I'd love to go above and beyond and sub to you at tier 4, but don't have enough money yet :(
Random_user_B: Tier 4 sub? The highest is tier 3
Random_user_A: yeah thats what I meant
Random_user_B: I mean it's up to you if you're feeling it, just note that tier 3 has little to no perks
...
Streamer: *reads chat* "Oh thank you Random_user_A! But you really don't have to if you can't"
Random_user_B: Tier 4 sub? The highest is tier 3

tier 1 sub
A tier 1 sub is the cheapest subscription plan you can buy on Twitch, and oftentimes is the only plan you'll ever need.
Subscribing at tier 1 gives you access to at least a good 95% of the streamer's emotes, as well as other channel perks such as a sub-only discord community.
Anything higher than tier 1 has little to no perks, other than having a more distinguished sub badge.

tier 3 sub
A tier 3 sub is the highest subscription rank that you can buy on Twitch, and costs more than 5 times a tier 1 sub. The benefits of purchasing a tier 3 sub is negligible to none. The most you'll get are a few more emotes that tier 1 subs do not have. Therefore, very few people purchase it, and the ones that do are mainly very loyal fans who want to show their utmost support towards their favorite content creators. Can also be gifted as a very special present to someone.
