real time chump 

A derogatory name for a person watching an episodic series during the actual time during which each episode is released to the public.
Matthew and Angelica are real time chumps; I much prefer watching a show after it's conclusion to being left hanging and glued to the TV every week like they are.

I was the biggest real time chump when the series Lost was being aired for the first time on ABC in the '00s.

OMG OMG OMG! Addicted to the new season of The Bachelor #realtimechump

Between Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, I'm no longer a real time chump but then again, I can't discuss any of the shows currently airing either. #firstworldproblems

Peopliars 

A sub-group of humans who believe it's normal and natural to lie and be lied to and who are unremorseful and unrepentant regarding their lies.

A portmanteau of the words "people" and "liars".
Once I stopped relying on people, my life got better but as I age and need more assistance, it seems I must decide between dealing with peopliars and being in pain.

Narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths are prime examples peopliars--lying to others is second nature to them.

Too bad you still have to use a HAndroid and can't afford your own AI Personal Assistant Bot.

singlisten 

The act of intermittently singing and listening to a song during the lyrical parts as opposed to singing along.
I can't help singlistening to (insert name of your favorite band) whenever I hear them.

I wanted to sing along during the show but the lead singer was so good I ended up singlistening.

My vocal range is bad so I have to singlisten whenever I jam out in my car alone!
