Shineboxing
A way of saying you knew somebody back when they pissed their bed, kind of like they knew you back when whined to your mother or father about getting somebody kicking the shit out of you.

Poser
If a guy has convinced people he's Italian (such as an actor in a movie), but he's not really Italian, no matter how believable the guy is, he's not authentic, so he's a poser.
The poser had convinced people that he/she was from hell and that he/she was hell, but since there was no hell, he/she was just another otherwise obscure poser.

Gregarious
Most people are not really gregarious, most people like a balance of space and company. People who claim they are gregarious all the time are full of shit, and usually have lots of people around them at all times as a crutch, since on their own they're weak people.

Oddball poser
Someone who starts posing as an oddball or a weirdo once the stigma is gone and there's no social consequence. The kind of people who wouldn't smoke pot or do any drugs that would make them look like junkies until there was no stigma and everybody did it.
The oddball poser found a sense of comradery with a group of other oddball posers once there were no more odd people left, and phasing them out was complete.

Womanizer
Thinking about being one or thinking like one doesn't make you one, just like thinking about being a musician or thinking like one doesn't make you one. People who dont have much self control dont usually separate thoughts from actions, since they dont have control of their own.
The guy thought about being a musician all day long, but until he acted on his thought of being a musician by making music, he would never be a musician. The same applied to a guy who thought about being a womanizer, a salesman, a teacher, or anything else. There was a difference between thinking something and reality.

Cautious optimism
Theres no such thing as cautious optimism. Cautious optimism is cynicism. Thinking the sky is going to fall and trying to look forward to the little bit of good left in things before it does is cynicism. Really, having a bucket list is cynicism, since even though it becomes more likely that you'll die soon when you get older, once the mystery isnt there you're not really living anyway, you're just trying to live the rest of your days as an adrenaline junkie before the crash at the end, to go out with a bang, that's cynicism. Most thoughts disguised as positive are really cynical by nature.
Fuck positive thoughts and people, they think the end is a crash and it becomes one for everybody else too. There is no cautious optimism.
