Definitions by Mike
first but not foremost
Definition: First in order but not in importance. Not as important, despite being mentioned in the first place. The opposite to "last but not least".
First but not foremost, you have to write very clearly. Second, your writing should be truly original and captivating.
Hello, I see, I am the first guest to arrive but certainly not foremost.

numberism
obsession with numbers and calculations; life devoted to quantifiable goals: to earn more money, to eat less calories, to run faster, to visit more places, to possess more collectible items, etc.
Numberism multiplies quantities and destroys quality.
John in a numberist: he calculates everything, from calories in his meals to the duration of his sexual acts.

factasy
a fact that provokes fantasy or is fantastic by itself; a literary or artistic genre that combines complete facticity with unbridled fantasy.
The center of our galaxy tastes like raspberries and smells rum. This factasy is a recent discovery of astronomers.
I am writing a factasy based on recent calculations: each ejaculation contains about 15 terabytes of genetic information transferred at a speed of 5 terabytes per second.

alter–egoism
expanded egoism that is focused on alter ego, a significant other for whom you care as much or even more than for yourself.
Chekhov's Darling is a perfect example of alter–egoism: she gives herself up to her loved ones and lives solely by their interests and feelings. This is her way to cherish her own ego.
Alter–egoism is different from altruism. Altruism is indiscriminate selfless concern for the well-being of others, whereas alter–egoism is very selective: it is directed on alter–egos, i.e. the chosen ones, and thus retains certain qualities of egoism.

glober
a resident of the globe; one who lives across the borders and travels more than dwells in a single place.
Globers constitute the growing portion of population all over the world. Many business people, journalists, actors, scientists, politicians, and employees of international organizations and multinational corporations are globers by their occupation and way of life.
headmade
produced by natural human intelligence rather than by intelligent machines, robotic minds, software programs etc.
In the future age of artificial intelligence, headmade things will be valued as high as handmade objects in the industrial age of mass production.
