Mary Mary Quite The Contrarian's definitions
To carelessly misinterpret another person's words, ideas or intentions, often with a dismissive and disparaging mindset. When a person misconstrues, they rely on their gut feeling while paying no attention to the actual content and rationale. Though it can happen anywhere, such quick-to-react idiocy is almost exclusive to Twitter and Reddit.

Get the Misconstruemug. 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.

Example 1(A): During pillow talk, Amy revealed her troubled past with her abusive alcoholic father. His boyfriend consoled her and she felt a lot better.
Example 1(B): See any episode of two and a half men
Example 2: Jake and his buddies had a sleepover and they had a long pillow talk about anxiety and depression and seeked each other's help/advice.

Get the Pillow Talkmug. Slang: something you say to express dismay, failure, unattractiveness, surprise or sympathy.
Generally means the same thing as the much later-occurring slang "oof".

A: I just failed my math exam
B: Woof
X: This burger doesn't look anywhere near as good as the ad
Y: Woof! That's an abomination if I've ever seen one.

Get the Woofmug. Something that I suffer with all the time every day of my life, and it friggin sucks. Basically your nose sinuses are so stuffed to the point that the snot "drips" down to your throat, and it makes you gag. Not really a big deal if it happens infrequently, but chronic post nasal drip is literally hell.
Me: Hey guys how's it gโ *gags loudly on snot*
Them: Woah you okay there dude?
Me: Oh dw it's nothing, just my typical post nasal drip.

Get the Post nasal dripmug. GitHub is a massive code repository platform that everyone from programmers to software developers to IT professionals use and depend on. Unfortunately though, GitHub is also one of the most confusing sites to navigate through, especially for the average person who just wants to download a software.
I heavily stand by the belief that software developers should NOT use GitHub as the primary download hub for their end-users. That is very bad practice in my opinion. Instead, it is a better practice to host their finished software on dedicated download hubs such as sourceforge. GitHub is primarily a code repository, not a software repository, and average users nagivating a GitHub repo can get easily confused like I once did.

Average User: Where do I download YouTube vanced?
Dev: It's on our GitHub page, linked here.
Average User: Um where is the download link on that site?? I only see a README.md and other weird files.

Get the GitHubmug. 1) A mediocre speaker with a POS smart assistant that absolutely sucks at responding to your commands. Very often misinterprets everything you say even when speaking in a normal voice, let alone when speaking quietly.
2) A dumb irritating person that you have to stick with on a long-term basis.

1) "Alexa, turn on the bedroom light"
"Sorry, I couldn't find a device named bedroom lamp"
"Alexa, turn the light strips to six"
"Got it, turning off all the lights"
"fuck off"
2) "Why so pissed?"
"I have an Amazon echo in my bedroom, go figure."

Get the Amazon echomug. CBT, short for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that aims at improving one's mental health through the process of challenging and correcting any unhelpful thoughts, attitudes, and ways of thinking. The idea is that most of your negative thoughts come from unrealistic and irrational mindsets, so by challenging these irrational thoughts and beliefs, you can see past the "negative filter" (cognitive distortions) you unknowingly imposed on yourself.
A girl who'sโin realityโskinny but think she's obese is a typical example of an irrational negative belief, which can be fixed with CBT.
CBT differs from other traditional therapies in that, rather than letting you vent out all your feelings (while the therapist nods to whatever you're saying), it is entirely "solution-orientated". This generally involves a structured approach where the therapist first identifies the flaws in your thoughts, and then tells you to see your thoughts as just ideas, rather than as facts. After that, the sessions generally involve trying ways to fix your perception (by looking at different viewpoints).

My friend persistently thought he could never get a girlfriend, so I told him to go seek CBT. After two months of CBT, his previous ways of thinking (I'm too ugly for a pretty girl, I can never find the perfect time to talk to her, I sweat too much, etc etc) were trashed and replaced by more helpful and realistic thoughts. Six months later and he's already dated two hot college chicks.
