Collectify

"Collectify" is a term used when someone tries to label you (or another) by generalising who you are with that label.

You may also use the term "collectified", which is a term used to describe an individual (or group of individuals) who have been labelled under a generalisation without acknowledgment of their individuality.
Eg: "oh my gosh Sharon, is she trying to collectify you as a person of colour just because you were born with darker skin tones. Arn't you a human?"

Eg: "that group of people just collectified me as a white person, even though I have never seen myself as anything other than human."

Eg: "I was collectified by the media today, they informed the public that 3 out of 5 white men have the potential to be rapists."

Eg: "Don't let them collectify who you are Kazza. You are not the bad things that someone else has done, their actions are separate to who you are."

root-netting

Is the under-soil network of interlaced root systems of above ground botanica.

Root netting is when tree root systems interlock, creating a hidden "net" of support for surface soil.

In simple terms, when plants hold hands under the soil.
"If you remove this forest, the ground will not be supported by this root-netting any longer, and may give way."

mental presence

To be present in the mind of another without physically being there, by way of previous interaction or discourse.

A disruptive memory, either positive or negative, which affect one's immediate ability to think or make decisions based on previous exposure to written language, spoken a language, and body language (including multi-media).
"Before i walked down the isle at my wedding, the mental presence of my grandmother told me to "lift up my skirt before I trip."

"She retained a mental presence of her husband's fist, even though he was not around physically anymore."

"Although I want to achieve higher grades, the mental presence of a bully prevents me from reaching my goals."

"The news offers an ongoing mental presence of fear amongst our community, and this allows them the ability to manipulate and control."

"The law creates a rhythmic mental presence which makes me feel uncomfortable in my own home."

evenstanding

An alternative word used to describe a mutual agreement of knowledge.

It replaces the archaic version "understanding", which reflects a negative connotation.

To be "under" someone, is to be less than equal.

To be "even" with someone, is to be equal.

And so with this in mind, when we make an attempt to have someone else "understand" what we are trying to say (such as this explanation) one may instead prefer the use of positive language to encourage the another to "evenstand".

The archaic word "understanding" may be used when one is not yet "evenstanding" with the other in terms of knowledge, information, or I.Q.

The 'old term' may be used as follows: "I am currently in a position of understanding about the information you have provided", which denotes the fact that someone may not understand in the 'old term'.

To turn this around by using positive language, one might instead say, "I would like to evenstand with you, however right now, I do not. Are you able to elaborate?"
"I am evenstanding on the topic of interest that you have presented."

"I am able to evenstand with you on that point."

"Evenstanding with the study group will be my primary focus."

"It is hard to evenstand with parliamentary administrators when legislative changes are made behind impenetrable walls."

"Do you evenstand with what I am saying?"

"They were both evenstood on the topic."

anatomology

Specifically. It is the study and observation of all things anatomy, in any or all species.
"He caressed her body slowly, as if he had been studying the art of anatomology his entire life."

"Whilst studying frog anatomology, I discovered a curious thing, it's skin performs the same function as our lungs to help it breathe. Therefore stagnant waters with no oxygen, such as dams, may suffocate these amphibians."

"The anatomology of Adam and Eve would have surely resembled Barney Rubble, for humans have evolved even in the last hundred years by becoming taller and less hairy."

"Anatomologiclly speaking, we are unable to define the exact colour of a mummies skin, eyes, or hair, and this is due to the fact that evolution in itself, often changes patterns whilst maintaining the same genetic branding."

chi-hugger

A still and placid insect (or other) that causes minimal disturbance whilst it finds any part of a tree to hug* with its tiny feet, arms, or other. Eg: a cicada

*bugs, not drugs 🤣
"These chi-huggers could put hippies to shame. They sit here all day and never move."

"You are such a chi-hugger"
"I know I am, and I'm not afraid to use it, they help me breathe."

"He was holding his cup of coffee for hours like some chi-hugging cicada that sits on the side of a tree."
