Root Word Alliteration

The poetic style which repeats a slightly modified root word to emphasize that root word while creating a rhyme.
Examples of "root word alliteration" are, "love—that unexplainably still unexplained phenomenon which in this era of perfection still makes the world go round—appears to take on a life of its own to grow and is irrefutably known to quickly deactivate reason in order to satisfy one or both lover's needs." And "It's better to be safe than sorry," said a tax-collector to a tax-evader who worked as a stocks and bond trader and wrestled against alligators."

whorize

To persuade a girl to let a man have sex with her, then sometime later—for some reason—leave her, thus intentionally or unintentionally indirectly forcing her to find another male and eventually other men to have sex with. To not whorize a girl a male can foresee what he would be doing by persuading her to have sex with him, knowing that sooner or later he would leave her and force her to become a slut.
The very handsome man decided to not even start seeing the girl who he thought flirted with him a few days ago, because believing she was a virgin, and knowing they would start soon start engaging in sexual intercourse, because he was planning to relocate to another city at the end of the summer, he foresaw that after he left she would probably find a different man to satisfy the habit of having sex and start jumping from man to man because she had been whorized.

thought expression

A thought which the thinker raises to a higher level by extracting it from his brain by saying it to himself and or others, verbally, nonverbally (such as by making a sound, a face, or a gesture), and/or by writing or drawing it. Expressing a thought also confirms to the thinker and those who are made aware of it that that thought was real, clarifies it, and makes it more useful. If the thinker or someone else records the thought in writing or in another way, it will not be forgotten and may help him in the future.
The following is an example of "thought expression". Carlos felt uncomfortable as the chair he sat on rolled away ever so slightly. Determined to do his homework, he attempted to ignore the feeling but told himself, "I felt it. I felt it," turned, got up, walked to the bedroom, and on his way there told himself verbally, "I felt afraid the chair would continue rolling and I would fall on the floor. That's what happened". With his feet on the floor and his knees bent, he laid back on his bed knowing that would calm him down. Knowing he is a hypersensitive person (HSP), he knew he could not deny his feelings because when he has, his body has given him some type of pain in his back, neck, or organs to remind him to not deny the things he feels. Today he also told himself, "Por algo...", to express his realizing that "God makes me feel the things I feel, for a reason."

Imagined Echo

The echo of a sound which did not produce an echo, but which the brain hears after the sound was made because it replays a sound the individual just heard in order to facilitate comprehension and interpretation. Imagined echoes are the auditory equivalent of the images the eyes continue to see though the still image they saw is no longer visible. The scientifically proven phenomenon called the "persistence of vision" makes it possible for the 30 still images motion picture projectors display one after the other to create the optical illusion the brain interprets as continuous movement.
Dick Shakey was creating a song on his computers piano keyboard when he heard a jet airplane fly by. One second later, his brain replayed the sound of the jet engine for Richard to could hear it again and know what had just happened because when he heard the jet engine's sound the first time—immersed listening to the piano notes—he did hear the jet engine's distant roar, but because human listening is sometimes selective, ignored it. However, hearing the imagined echo blew his concentration, so he stood up, took a break, and submitted this new term to a new word website.

Bias Conflict

Short for Inextricable Cognitive Bias Conflict. An extremely common, automatic conflict which erupts between individuals because every individual can only perceive and interpret events anchored in their biases which generate their cognitive biases.
Each one of two men rents a room in a house in Lakeland, Florida. Along with the landlady, the three live in a Bias Conflict because until each one comes to comprehend Cognitive Biases, each one will continue perceiving and interpreting everything based on their inherent biases.
