zen-alcoholic

when you like drinking alcohol per se but regard a teaspoon of whisky as the right dose to draw the pleasure of drinking. The tablespoon is then at the boundary to alcoholism. You stay within the field of Zen combining the pleasures of body and mind.
My wife and me, we are zen-alcoholics. It is our zen philosophy to enjoy whisky etc. but because alcohol with wine at lunch and at dinner is accumulating through the day, we restrict to the enjoyable minimum. This gives the pleasure of nice drinks plus the good feeling of self-mastery, it is just zen.

Willy-nilly believer

A careless believer. Someone who hears a statement or story and takes it for granted without considering the implications of that story. In religion, this is the belief in miracles as the multiplication of bread or the belief in an afterlife of a human after having seen the macabre decay of body (and brain). The opposite is an illuminated person who considers the plausibility and the side effects of a story.
There is no sense to discuss this with her. She just believes that she hears the spirits of the deceased talking, just willy-nilly. She is a willy-nilly believer in many things. Maybe she should take a course in physics. Or in psychology.

Autrie

While a selfie is a photo of oneself, an autrie is a snapshot of others.

It is derived from the French word "autre" oder "autrui", the others, and is pronounced as /otʀɥi/ or approximately outree. Just phonetically fitting to "selfie, but just the opposite social action.
My friend, you do not need to make an awesome selfie from you two, I can do an autrie .

To make a selfie is stupid, to make an autrie is social.

Flatearthism

An absurd statement of the truth content and the implied social attitude of "the earth is flat", i.e. not a sphere. It is sometimes seemingly obvious, but completely false.
The world of people's opinions is full of "flatearthisms". In the area of climate change, for example, it is the statement that the atmosphere contains far too little CO2 to warm up.

It is a flatearthism that an amethyst crystal under the pillow ensures a good night's sleep, rather the opposite.

My husband can ask me all year round if we do it this way, but I always answer: it's not your birthday. This is your birthday position!
My wife has also invented an Urban Dictionary word. It's both appealing and bitter: the birthday position.
