(noun – plant nerd / ferncore slang)
Pronounced "Sorry"
1. Those little brown or golden polka-dots on the underside of a fern frond where the spores are made and stored. Basically: the fern’s version of baby factories, neatly arranged in aesthetic rows.
2. Proof that plants are low-key running complex reproductive operations while you’re just out here thinking it’s “a nice leaf.”

Example 1:
“Once you notice the sori on ferns, you can’t unsee them. It’s like the plant is covered in tiny QR codes for future ferns.”
Example 2:
“Botany exam tomorrow and my brain is just sori, stomata, and regret.”
Side note:
Proper bio speak: sorus (singular), sori (plural) – but “sori” just sounds cooler for slang, so it wins.

“Alexandrea didn’t realize it at the time, but the way the salesperson spun the Ashley store furniture scam in Chico was a total paltergeist—every line was technically true, but months later he was still haunted by how the deal actually worked.”
Years later, when Alex put the pieces together about what really happened, he realized it wasn’t just betrayal—it was a paltergeist. Every ‘honest’ answer had been crafted to keep him compliant while the damage was done behind his back, and now those conversations replay in his head like a horror reel he never consented to watch.
