vacuutemporal
The experience of life without time. The absence of a temporal dimension, an extension of the simultemporal state.
Accustomed to the simultemporal experience, in which past, present and future are simultaneous rather than sequential or linear, effectively living time all at once, he was increasingly subject to vacuutemporal states in which the delusion of time dissolved.

veterinary ophthalmology
A relatively recent specialty within the field of veterinary medicine, devoted exclusively to treating the eyes of non-human animals.
His dog, at the age of ten, had become completely blind. Whereas her blindness would once have been permanent, it could now be reversed. Dr. Jane Cho, a surgeon practicing in Westchester County, New York, had performed a miracle, in his view, had given back the world to his dog by restoring her vision. With each additional year of newly-sighted life, he felt enhanced gratitude toward the doctor and her staff, thankful for the gift of veterinary ophthalmology.

Anxiety-Tornado
A sweeping, fast moving state of anxiety that arrives without warning and takes everything in its path with it.
He had made an offhand remark, a minor joke, but to her it incited an anxiety-tornado, swirling, uprooting, splintering and lifting her sense of security with it until she felt herself to be an emotionally wrecked trailer park. And like a tornado, it passed and calm was once again restored.

Chimp on your shoulder
Everyone knew to avoid the conspiracy-spewing moron at the end of the bar, except the one guy looking for a fight. He came up behind him and said "Is that a chimp on your shoulder, or did you offer Tucker Carlson a piggyback?"

vacuutemporal
An experience of life without time. The absence of a temporal dimension. An intensification 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 vacuutemporal, wherein the sense of time in any form dissolved.
