mask burning
Apparently, this is a thing believe it or not. It happened recently in Idaho where a bunch of entitled Karens and their children gathered around the capitol state grounds and lit a bunch of face masks on fire.
Angry parents and children: STOP THE QUARANTINE, WE WANT OUR FREEDOMS BACK!!!!!!!!!
Angry parents and children: WE WILL RESORT TO MASK BURNING IF WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT!!!!!
Literally everyone else: lol

non-conformist
Somebody who hates baby kittens, thinks the earth is flat, thinks vaccines cause autism, posits that climate change isn't real, that the moon landing was just a hoax, and every other nutty conspiracy theory you can think of.
Many people would think non-conformists are simply people who like unpopular stuff. But realistically the "unpopular" stuff is still rather popular to a certain degree (e.g. classical music).
The REAL non-conformists are those that actually like or support something that literally nobody would like or support. And those people are typically conspiracy nutjobs or psychopaths.

Fight or flight
Fight or flight is the physical reaction of an organism to a perceived threat within the environment. It is an inherent trait found in all animals (including humans) that ultimately promotes the survival of a species (via natural selection).
When the fight or flight response is activated, the cardiorespiratory system is given immediate emphasis while the digestive system takes a step back, thus why one loses appetite during a stressful event. Generally, the organism's body gets prepared to either deal with the threat or flee away from it.
Fight or flight response makes up the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome.

When the tiger pounced on the gazelle, the gazelle's fight or flight response kicked in and is what enabled the gazelle to flee from the tiger in a swift and nimble manner.

Black nail polish
Black is the only nail polish color that both genders like to wear.
Girls wear black nail polish because it's such a bold and incredibly sexy color. Guys (cis) wear it mostly as a fashion trend statement (e.g. social media fad) or to symbolize that they are affiliated with a certain cultural movement (e.g. goth, emo). Only some guys wear it without any externally-motivated reasons.
There is also a noticeable difference in HOW each gender wears it. Guys (cis) often do it hastily. They have no intention to fill the polish in completely, and prefer it chipped. Most would opt for matte black. This is likely to distance themselves from actually partaking in a feminine hobby, or to follow the trend. Thus for guys, it is only a means to an end. When girls wear it though, it will look unironically gorgeous and catches people's eyes. Most will get it done professionally, or do it themselves with unprecedented perfection. Girls will take the extra mile to use a base coat, and put a top coat over the black polish to make it nice and glossy. Girls also like their nails long and shaped. They'd look—as you'd expect—feminine.
Guys rocking black nails isn't anything new or remarkable, but it would take some real balls (i.e. devotion) to paint them in a sincere impeccable fashion as a girl would.

SJW
SJW is an acronym for 'social justice warrior'. It used to have a positive connotation, because social justice is, in and of itself, a good thing, right?
However in more recent times, it's been co-opted by numerous amount of people that the entire rhetoric behind "social justice" has turned wishy-washy. In other words, it's not fresh news. People are getting sick and tired of SJWs who interpret every situation as needing justice, even if it's something as frivolous as a black dude who got a small coffee instead of the large they ordered.
The problem with SJWs in the 21st century isn't their intentions per se (social justice is inherently good), but rather the fact that their constant bickering does absolutely nothing to address or mitigate the REAL inequalities that exist in the world today. And I'm sure that 99% of SJWs have not even had any proper university education in the social sciences, so most of the things they say are coming from their ass. In reality, most SJWs are just on an ego trip, and take to Twitter to brandish their "wokeness".

What a SJW on Twitter would say: "OMFG so this white male employee at McDs gives me the wrong order and when I repeatedly asked for the right order, he became very angry. This is absolutely unacceptable, I am a black pansexual women and deserve to be treated better. #BLM"
What any normal person would say: "Had a bad experience at McDonald's where an employee got angry at me when I asked for the right order. I would've reported to the manager, but he was probably under a lot of stress and pressure so I understand."

Rumination
In psychology, rumination is when you can't take your mind off of something, often a bitter or negative experience you had in the past, and it still continues to bother you. You try to combat these intrusive thoughts, but they keep coming back no matter how hard you try to push them out. Rumination can be anywhere from a few minutes to an entire hour.
This is often due to a lack of resolution/rectification towards the bitter experience, especially if you failed to take control of the situation.
Rumination can also be about future events or goals, especially a harmful, unhealthy and unrealistic goal that you want to pursue.
The more you ruminate, the deeper the hole you're digging for yourself. It is better to stop ruminating early, or else you might end up in a very unhealthy state, both mentally and physically.

Peter had plans to assemble his Ikea furniture today, but during the assembly his mind wandered off and he started to ruminate about his ex and how she "borrowed" his money but never returned it back, and afterwards broke up with him. He had all these malicious thoughts inside his head and wanted to execute them all, but couldn't get himself to for the sake of his sanity. Peter's rumination costed him an hour's worth of time.
