A different way to say "think," based on the fact that differentiating is a key function of thinking.
Is the ability to differentiate—to tell things apart, to distinguish between things, to determine which thing is better, which thing is more important—the essence of intelligence and also of thought? the researcher asked himself. His cousin, a stand-up comedian, word inventor, and word artist quipped, "might dif-FOR-en-ti-ate' mean the ability to differentiate what a thing is used 'for.' And could "differentiate" surreally mean, something along the lines of she ate differently, different she ate?

A very rare condition (that does not exist in real life) where one gluteous maximus muscle is larger than the other.
Though no one has ASS DISPARITY, the thought that someone could have it helps people appreciate how symetrical and perfect Creation is.

Customer Service manager Manuel "Trickster" Camingitty was able to manipulate Nancy Assdid to do exactly as he had so painstakingly planned to ensure she would do what she had told him she had made up her mind long ago to never do, especially at work. For months, he continued manipulating and in other ways abusing his new employee who in his self-talks he referred to as his "favorite female manipulee", and who his best friend, an Italian-American singer, jokingly called his "manipulah."

Strong and fast, are an example of two-adjectives. Smart but smelly, ugly but funny, fat and ugly, fat and friendly, short but cute, tall and arrogant, intelligent but snotty, snobbish but elegant. The other similar method is two-nouns, as in skinny and tall. These two-adjectives or two-nouns help describe characters in plays, for example.

A temporary, high altered state an individual rises to in which he or she senses the tiniest things as if they were many times larger and more intensely, cannot ignore them, and feels forced to react to them, often by correcting the source of the irregularity or by taking a break and recuperating from the effects having sensed the stimulus caused in his body.
A graduate student found he was in his super-hyper-sensitive mode again. For example, when he heard the sound of a car horn, it bothered him so much he had to stop doing his homework on the computer, get up, go to the bedroom, and with his feet on the floor lay on the bed to recuperate from the distraction. When he burped or farted he also had to stop and go to the bedroom for a short break. If he was walking to the computer and one of his sandals got caught on the floor tile, or if he hit one of his feet against his other foot, or if the chair he was going to sit on went slightly off-kilter it would frighten him so much he had to go recuperate on the bed.
When he does not stop, acknowledge what he sensed, stop what he is doing, and go recuperate, he feels the pain repressing his need to go recuperate from the reactions his super-hyper-sensitivity causes in his body. Two-years ago, he learned to stop what he was doing and go recuperate.
Knowing it is wiser to forgive the people who blow their horns or his neighbors who somehow bang on the walls or the floors because they do not know better and do not know how to be considerate, he reminds himself to forgive them because they simply are not as aware of things and do not know as much as he continues working so hard to learn.

The unexpected things that suddenly happen in people's lives which can in the most extreme cases shock them, but always force them to adapt because the unexpected event(s) prevented them from doing what they were planning to do and hoping to be able to do on a certain day, at a specific time.
Charlie told Kathryn, "It made me so happy to see you guys after the "unexpecteds" that popped into our lives." Monday, you had a family emergency and forgot to take your phone, which left me bewildered not knowing why you were not replying to my emails. Then Tuesday, my Internet was down which prevented us from meeting in ZOOM for me to tutor your lovable son.
