Monkey's Dad's definitions

vernocular

The visual appearance - facial features, body type and mode of dressing - of ordinary people in a particular country or region.
She exemplified the Parisian vernocular. Without an extra pound, without jewelry or makeup, without piercings or tattoos - Mon Dieu! - her hair brushed up and away from her face, held in an easy ponytail, she was dressed with exquisitely simple taste, everything of the most subtle colors and quality, and her appearance radiated graceful self-possession. She could not have come from anywhere else.

Zentriloquism

A deeper level of ventriloquism, in which the Zentriloquist, without a sound, makes a dummy think thoughts he would not normally think.
Vern was not the brightest bulb in the drawer, that was for durned sure, yet for no reason he suddenly thought, "I am one with everything". Then he noticed the guy with the shaved head, wearing saffron robes, sitting across from him, staring into his eyes and smirking gently. Just might be that Zentriloquism he'd heard about. Then, "I am free from all desire".

ether/ore

A choice between earth and sky, light and heavy, the option to float or to sink.
One of the women was laughing, smiling, so enjoying the moment that her feet barely touched the ground, while the other had a negative word for everything, her brows clenched, seeming cemented in place. It was clearly an ether/ore choice and he went toward the light.

Anxression

A reasonable response to an uncertain moment, compounded of depression and anxiety.
Locked at home by herself, her job gone, the world outside her door vacated beyond recognition, she felt it appropriate to be drowning in anxression. There was not one goddamned thing to be pathologized in not getting out of bed, keeping the lights off and eating ice cream all day.

adversation

A conversation between adversaries. And adversarial conversation. A fundamental and sustained disagreement.
The subject turned to the storming of the Capitol, the notion of fraudulent ballots cast by illegal Space Aliens, dead, liberal aliens at that, and to the Voting Rights Bill. It had begun as a conversation but swiftly became an adversation.

Hemoji

1) Spotted almost as frequently as Bigfoot: a small, brightly-colored visual feature, used by men while texting, in place of actual words.
Bill broke up with Susie using the only hemojis he could think of - a pair of scissors and a trash can.

retropathy

He had squandered his youth and was now beset by retropathy, needing to do it again and do it better. He would quit his job, find his first car and buy it back, find his old girlfriend and they'd hit the road. He'd wake up one morning and be twenty again. He was sure of it.
