Facial Recognition

1) A technology rendered obsolete by Covid.
2) A quaint human interaction, from the time when people could see another person's face, know whom they were looking at, and respond with feeling.
He saw a sort of female person standing in front of him. She had her ear pods in and was speaking to someone who was not there. She was wearing a mask, as required by law and by custom, large sunglasses and a hat. He saw a small patch of skin - her cheeks - and longing for that old feeling once termed facial recognition, he believed it might or might not be Sarah.

Coney

1) An early name for “rabbit.” Historically rhyming with honey, it derives from the French conil, from the Latin cunīculus.

2) The maiden name of Amy Coney Barrett, the present nominee for Supreme Court justice.
It's Coney, but PLEASE do NOT rhyme it with 'honey', which will yield the Olde English slang for female genitalia.

Introversy

A heated disagreement with oneself.
His desire to be famous and his need to be left alone had led him to this strange moment - on stage, in front of thousands of screaming fans, ready to walk off and go home, in a state of raging introversy.

Noid

Clear-sighted, realistically unafraid. A condition which must necessarily exist in order for the condition of being para-noid to exist.
The only one at the party who had declined the marijuana, he did not have the munchies, did not find every utterance, no matter how inane, hysterically funny, he was more than ready to drive anyone and everyone home if need be, and he was suffering no delusions; absolutely no one was out to get him. While his friends may be paranoid, he was, in a word - noid.

barf, barf, barf

When spoken aloud, a mature response to the sight of two people who love each other fearlessly.
Watching the ageless couple sitting in a chair meant for one, gazing into each other's eyes, stroking, kissing, laughing at things no one else could see or hear, she expressed her own joy eloquently, muttering, "barf, barf, barf".

appearances matter

A wistful notion from the recent-yet-distant time when people saw each other.
Glancing into her closet, filled with lovingly-chosen clothing she no longer wore, slipping on her plastic coat, her mask and rubber gloves to go 'shopping', she recalled what her mother had taught her when she was young, that appearances matter, and wondered when it would be true again.

vaccutemporal

An experience of life without time. The absence of a temporal dimension. An extension of simultemporal experience, in which past, present and future are equidistant and simultaneous.
Having grown accustomed to simultemporal experience - living time all at once, rather than sequentially - he was increasingly forced to acknowledge states which were vaccutemporal, wherein the sense of time in any form dissolved.
