birthday position

For his birthday, he gets to choose how they will make love. The position is therefore called birthday position.
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.

Menuphobia

Reluctance to make a choice between different alternatives.

Making decisions is always a task. But it is an unpleasant task for many people. The term "menuphobia" describes this aversion to having to choose between several alternatives.
I hate long lists of choices in restaurants. My wife always makes the better choice and I have to watch her. I already have real menu phobia.

There is so much great food to choose from on the cruise that I can't make up my mind. I suffer from menuphobia.

Oh dear, you suffer from CID, that social media disorder. The full technical term is Obsessive-Compulsive Instagram Disorder (OCID). Or just CID.
Oh, you are a wise guy.

After having made some selfies, he asked a passer-by to make a real autrie.

While selfies are more intimate, an autrie is much more formal with a correct perspective.

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.
