Yamp

An old person and/or someone who is not fun. A kill-joy, elder; fun-hater. Not to be confused with ageism, by any means.

While we were car scaping, I looked to the left of me in order to sing an obnoxious song off the radio to another driver, who was in another automobile. The balding patches and discontent look gave me the notion, he was indeed a yamp.

Pavlov Effect of Euphoria

The Pavlov Effect of Euphoria stems from when couples party together and experience euphoria together from drugs. When they stop partying they still associate the feelings of euphoria with the person through subconscious association. This often leads to long term relationships with pseudo love and false romantic feelings they’ve tricked themselves into believing are natural.

Billy and Emily used to party together all the time and experience euphoria from drugs, when they stopped partying they remained together because they became conditioned to associate the positive feelings they used to feel with the presence of their partner instead through the Pavlov Effect of Euphoria.

Shopping Theory

Shopping Theory is the concept that applies to both life in general and shopping itself. If you’re certain of something, you just know. If you see something you absolutely love, you won’t even look at the price tag because you know you want it. If you question it at all, even if it’s on clearance, put it back - you don’t need it. Same goes for everyday life decisions; if you question it you can do without. When you know, you know.

I found a dress that was on clearance but after trying it on and shifting around I couldnt make up my mind if I needed it; because I questioned I applied Shopping Theory and put it back despite the sale price.

Second-friend

A person who is friends with your friend and you don’t know them well enough to call them your own friend so they are your second-friend through association.

I bought my second-friend a small but appropriate birthday gift to be cordial.

Biscuit Theory

The thought concept of if you really want something, no matter the circumstances, just get it. No restrictions or excuses can get in your way of obtaining your goal no matter how big or small.

I was driving home from a trip one day and saw a billboard for a giant buttermilk biscuit. Being vegan, I thought to myself, "I can't have this". Then I said, "Fuck this, if I want a fucking biscuit, I'll have a damn biscuit". Since that day on, if I really want something, I'll go out and get it. This is Biscuit Theory in it's purest form.
