Adult youthism
When an adult's interests, behaviours and manner of expression (i.e. personal traits) are not so much different compared to their adolescence.
Adult youthism should not be confused with simply acting immature or childish. Rather, it is mostly referring to the positive and idiosyncratic aspects of adolescence. It is denoting the ways in which adults challenge (largely unwittingly) typical stereotypes associated with being an adult. For example, a middle-aged adult who still likes to build and collect LEGO sets or is still a fan of kids shows (e.g. spongebob) can be described as adult youthism. Personality-wise, adult youthism can be attributed to an adult who likes to acts silly in naïves way or is always playful and cheerful.
Adult youthism is something people often lack of. Sometimes the reality and burdens of adult life can make you forget the joy and freedom of being a kid, and the appreciation of the simple things in life.

My friend: So how are things with Claire going?
Me: Oh it's going great. There's something about her that I find very intriguing. She's soooo innocent, and I mean that in a wholesome way! She's never negative about things, only positive. And she's a very open-minded person as well. She also apparently confessed that she still watches Spongebob which is awesome because I low-key still like that show too. Generally she's just such a joyful and wholesome person to be around, she's like the epitome of Adult youthism.

Cool math games
Cool math games has been around for a looong time. Disguised as a math website, it has been the most popular go-to website for K-12 students to play unblocked flash games at their school.
Every kid knows about cool math games, however, what most kids don't know is that there are dozens among dozens of other unblocked game sites that offer even more game selections.
In addition, most kids also don't know about PortableApps or portable programs in general, which are .exe files that don't require any installation to run the program (in this case a game). Examples of old (but gold) portable .exe games include Counter Strike 1.6, Halo 1, and Warcraft 3.
Unfortunately, most kids don't know about portable .exe's or other unblocked game sites, nor do they really care. Like a PC user trying to convert Mac users, or Android users trying to convert typical iPhone users, the result is always futile.

I ask for you to make an effort to understand me
A succinct phrase that unfortunately has to be used whenever a person, despite already doing the best you can to make your point clear, has misinterpreted your point.
Using this phrase is almost essential nowadays when you try to express your opinion on the internet.
Using this phrase is almost essential nowadays when you try to express your opinion on the internet.
Internet user 1: So what you're saying is that people aren't allowed to have personal opinions?
Internet user 2: I ask for you to make an effort to understand me. I am not saying that people's right to freedom of speech should be taken away, but rather that free speech should have limits. Hate speech crosses that limit.

Deep Note
That awesome mind-blowing noise you hear in every movie theatre before the movie starts. It's the iconic sound where it starts off quiet but then crescendos into this epic sound comprised of 30 synths simultaneously playing the same note at a huge octave range. It is often accompanied by epic high-quality stunning visuals. When you hear that, you know you're in for a treat of the best cinematic experience ever!
Guy: I think I've just found the most pleasing sound in the entire world
Girl: What is it?
Guy: *plays THX Deep Note*
Girl: *immediately gets wet AF*
Girl: What is it?

Reddit hive-mind
Reddit is a popular social commentary website that houses the largest hive mind (collective conscience) on the internet.
The said hive-mind often loves to find the tiniest bits of "hidden meanings" in people's opinions and use it against them, regardless whether those implications were intentional or not. It is essentially an act of guessing what the opinion giver failed to admit (as if they had any) and calling them out on it.
Most of the time, the hive-mind's guessing game turns out to be plain wrong and the opinion giver is left in a state of astonishment and resentment, as they obviously didn't mean to imply whatever the hive-mind claims they were implying.
This often results in the OP (original poster) to give a grudged reply to the Redditor, clarifying that this is not what they meant to say. If such a reply is disdainful enough, it will warrant more Redditors to come in and defend the hive-mind with more ridiculous accusations (e.g. "you're just trying to cover up that...", "you're failing to see...", etc.). And the hive-mind will do this until the OP gives up from all the downvotes.
While such an interrogative 'tactic' is useful in places such as academic critiquing and obviously police interrogation, on a social commentary website, it is practically useless and quite frankly infuriating. It is doing nothing but gaslighting the opinion giver.

Example of the Reddit hive-mind in action #1:
OP: Can weed make you as intoxicated as alcohol?
Redditor 1: No, and why do you ask? Please don't tell me you're going to use weed as a date rape drug...
OP: Ummm... what? No, why would you even assume that that was my intention?
Redditor 2: Because the way you phrased it seemed like you were asking to use it on somebody.
OP: *feeling astonished* I-I literally was never even aware of the way I phrased it.....
Redditor 3: Well now you're aware.
OP: .....I'm sorry? What did I even do wrong?? I was literally just curious, jeez people.
Example of the Reddit hive-mind in action #2:
OP: I think that every topic can be joked about, within reason.
Redditor 1: Soooo basically you don't think every topic can be joked about....
OP: What.... well I mean yeah I guess if you put it that way, but that wasn't really my point. Obviously some jokes can't be taken to the extreme.
Redditor 2: But that means you're implying that people can't freely express what they might think is funny. You have no right to control someone else's thoughts or humor.
OP: You know what? Just shut the fuck up. I'm sick and tired of the Reddit hive-mind.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
A phrase used by a person who likes to eat shit, to some extent knows that eating shit is bad for them, but doesn't acknowledge that fact and therefore dismiss it.
It can be seen as a modern analogy to Plato's cave.

Example (à la Patrick's wallet meme):
PC user: You know that the baseline Mac Pro costs 5 times as much money than a similarly-spec'd windows based machine, right?
Apple user: Yup.
PC user: And you know that you can custom build your own PC, right?
Apple user: Yup.
PC user: And even get a similar Mac Pro computer case?
Apple user: Yup.
PC user: And configure it to run Mac OS?
Apple user: Yup.
PC user: Then why did you buy the Mac Pro?!?!??
Apple user: Cus I reject your reality and substitute my own.
PC user: *facepalm*
