Mary Mary Quite The Contrarian's definitions
In psychology, (memory) consolidation is the process where the unconscious mind tries to transform recently learned experiences into long-term memories, thereby 'consolidating' them. Ways of triggering consolidation include writing/recording stuff down (e.g. journal or diary), the utilization of schemata, and getting a good night's sleep.
Jim failed to consolidate his memories of what he learned in his course because he rarely took notes. He also pulled an all-nighter to study for his final tomorrow, but consolidation didn't occur because he didn't get good sleep.

Get the Consolidation mug.ASMR is an internet niche that has been widely misunderstood by the public. It is a widespread misconception that ASMR is sexual or disgusting in nature.
As a long-time ASMR user, I can confidently tell you that:
1)ASMR is NOT mukbang.
2) ASMR is NOT some girl vociferously licking the microphone like a dog.
3) ASMR is NOT anything that involves bodily fluids.
4) ASMR is NOT sexual.
The truth is, ASMR is none of that weird disgusting stuff, it is actually quite inoffensive in nature. The fundamental purpose of ASMR is to induce a state of relaxation into the listener through what people call "tingles", which are tingly sensations you get in the scalp and elsewhere throughout the body. This is mainly achieved through hearing gentle whispers and soft delicate sounds. It can also be achieved through watching someone pamper you (e.g. barbershop roleplays, doctor roleplays, etc).
ASMR has always been about ear-to-ear whispering. It has always been about exploring the satisfying sounds that various materials make (e.g. leaves crunching). It has NEVER been about mic licking, I hope people seriously realize this.

Alice: Do you listen to ASMR?
Steph: Of course! My favourite one is that girl who eats an entire seafood platter.
Alice: Um..... I would hardly call that ASMR.
Steph: Why not?
Alice: ASMR is supposed to be relaxing. Listening to someone slurping loudly on ramen ain't relaxing in the slightest. Go listen to GentleWhispering, ASMR Darling or Ephemeral Rift if you want some actual ASMR content.

Dude 1: Hey so I've been enjoying some ASMR lately.
Dude 2: Oh? Which ASMRtist
Dude 1: Some chick called Amouranth, she's mad hot too.
Dude 2: I would rather you associate Bob Ross' livestreams as ASMR than to associate that horny mongrel licking a microphone as ASMR.

Get the ASMR mug.An individual within the STEM program who is foolish into believing that having the knowledge and skillset of STEM puts them at a higher intellectual position compared to students from other university programs.
STEMlords might feel that they are more rational, but they aren't. In fact, a 2019 study done by a group of psychologists found that STEMlords are no more rational or shrewd than those in Arts and Humanities programs (e.g. Cultural studies). Bottom line, their sense of superiority is a placebo effect founded on the misguided belief/stereotype that STEM is the holy grail of education.
STEMlords can be found all over the internet, but most exclusively within the Reddit platform. They often appear as sarcastic and cynical, and have a taste for dark edgy meme humour. Most, if not all, have a custom-built PC setup, play OW or DOTA 2, and watch a bazillion of anime shows.
STEMlords should not be generalized to all STEM students.

Get the STEMlord mug.What you and your friends say to another friend who is so addicted to swiping on Tinder to the point that he/she neglects their social group (or any social interaction for that matter). The phrase is announced every time your friend opens/uses Tinder, and should be announced repeatedly until your friend finally gets irked and puts their phone down.
Michael: Hey do you guys wanna hang for a bit after class?
Hannah: Yeah sure
Adam: I'm down
Michael: What about you Melinda?
*no response*
Adam: *whispers* I think she's on Tinder again...
Everyone: Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! SWIPER NO SWIPING!
Melinda: *puts phone down* Awww man!
Hannah: Yeah sure
Adam: I'm down
Michael: What about you Melinda?

Get the Swiper no swiping mug.What was alleged to be a massive violent raid resulting in thousands of casualties, turned out to be just a really dope festival with people dressed up in funny alien costumes. No one had the intentions of breaking into the facility, and only one person got arrested. Everyone was just having a jolly good ol' time with the spacey bois.
Everyone before september 20 2019: R.I.P to all the thousands that are gonna get massacred in the Area 51 raid
Me after september 20 2019: Um, it was just a whimsical alien-cosplaying party. Even the military guys were having a good time. Sure looked helluva fun.

Get the High Amplitude Sucking mug.This may mean various things but it mostly comes off as a giggling face, like when people giggle but try to hide it by covering their mouth. Used during contexts when a giggle or snicker is appropriate.
