Fob

Fresh Off the Boat
An islander who is unfamiliar with the culture of the mainland they just set foot on and of the world in general.
This is an outdated perception as most islanders have a modern lifestyle. It could still be true for some nations, however.

Shrugocracy

"Dataphobia chills them to the bone, I suspect because they hope to undermine not only some truths but all truth. David Roberts at Vox has written about what he calls an epistemic crisis in America, the idea that certain rulers and rich people hope to take away the basic idea of knowledge. If nobody can know anything, why bother to try to regulate anything? It’s government-by-ignorance—a shrugocracy."

Logistics

The specific or technical details of how something occurs.

For example, the logistics of a vacation to Florida might include finding a ticket online, choosing a layover to save money, knowing what to pack, determining what to do with your car and who will meet you at the airport, the day to day packings of lunch, and so on.

Logistics is often used the refer specifically to supply chain and transportation, but this is not always the case.
We'll figure out the logistics later.

What are the logistics of your life these days?
Oh, I'm still looking for a job, but mostly play video games. I got up at 11 today and I need to buy milk.
