An old farming game that everybody used to play back in the golden Facebook days (2009-2012). Not sure if it still exists but it was quite a chill game to play. Millennials will remember its existence, zoomers are totally oblivious.

Get the Farmville mug.Technological edging is the broad concept of intentionally delaying the practical use or possession of a technology in order to capitalize on potential new and better innovations of the technology. The term 'edging' brazenly refers to the sexual act of edging, meaning to delay orgasm in order to achieve a more satisfying ending.
Specifically, technological edging could mean holding out on buying a new smartphone or PC, even if you desperately need one, in order to capitalize on next year's advancements in consumer tech. In other words, people delay buying in order to not feel sad when the next best tech comes out, so they might as well wait for another year.
Technological edging can also apply to much bigger and broader ultimate goals, such as delaying future space exploration (on mars, the moon, etc.) in order to capitalize on the future impending innovations of science and technology. Such a move, in one's opinion, may be the wiser option.

Example 1
Friend 1: Omg the new Galaxy S20 looks dope! Are you gonna get it?
Friend 2: Nope, I'm practicing technological edging rn. I wanna delay getting a new phone so I won't complain about the next new phone being better than it. I already have the Galaxy S9 and it's still going well so.
Example 2
The postponement of Trump's plan for sending astronauts to the Moon might seem disappointing at first, but hey, at least scientists can technological edge it and benefit from potential new breakthroughs in their space tech.

Get the PD Day mug.Contrary to the top definition, Pillow Talk actually has two connotations.
The first connotation is the most thought of one. It's intimate talk with your romantic partner in bed, either before or after sex (but usually after). It is usually at this moment where all personal thoughts, desires and troubles are revealed in a candid tone. Those thoughts you've locked away during daytime are now front and center, completely transparent to your partner. Pillow talk can really be anything, it can be goofy or serious, but the main distinction is that everything spoken is 100% candid and true to themselves. No pretense, just you being you.
The second connotation is less restrictive and applies more generally. Here, Pillow Talk is referring to the intimate deep conversations between two or more people within a platonic relationship (e.g. friend, colleague). It often takes place in a location that stimulates bonding and conversation. For example, a literal sleepover with your friends can spur pillow talk, or a night out at a pub with your bros. Again, same meaning applies here. The conversations are usually very candid and lasts for hours, no pretense whatsoever.
Overall, pillow talk is a crucial component in relationships and its effect can be very therapeutic.

It can be seen as a modern analogy to Plato's cave.
