Tanguy syndrome

Tanguy syndrome is an emerging phenomenon across the world that started in Canada back in the the early zips.
It takes its name from a French-speaking film's young male character who spends his days at his parents' tanning, not working at the ripe old age of 28!

The males around the globe are facing now a 'quarter-life crisis' in their late 20s and early 30s because of a dire job market and an economy that flips the young and aspirant the middle-salute: having no work or money to start their own seperate lives, these 'sad gards' return back to their parents' homes and slack away their most productive and exciting years building in the process EFFs or 'extended financial families' (a.k.a. ant-hill families: describes the 'piling' effect of having different generations all living and working in the same house, so much like an ant-farm hill is).
Yeah, well blow this for a lark and welcome to the 'Slack Pack' if you are one of them!
Tanguy syndrome has many related words:

-permanent adolescents / adultscents.
-emerging adulthood.
-middle youth.
-kidults.
-childults.
-youthhood.
-rejuveniles.
-Boomerang Kids/ Babies/ Children:
young babyboomers, or BBs' children who 'boomerang' back to their 'rents homes.
-parasite singles.

-mommosexuals: metrosexuals that are coming back to their mamas to have a whiff at noshstalgia!
-mammones:
young men who won't give up their mamma's cooking in Europe. The 'Ities' were spot on right!
-Kippers/ KIPPERS:
in the UK it's an acronym for kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings. Also known as Slops/ SLOPs (singles, living off parents).
-nesthockers:
nest squatters or Germans who now look at their parents as friends and live with... or 'off', them! Also called freeters an Engleutsch blendword of 'free' and 'arbeiter' (worker).

Dustafarians

This is the weirdest shit ever! The word came to fame at the rise of the Alcor Life-Extension Foundation at the mid-90s.
Famous, rich people (Ted Williams the baseball player?), led the craze and others just followed lead now they are called 'Alcorians' as a collective noun to refer to this emerging class of 'cryonauts': the cryogenically-suspensed Alcor 'residents', who vary from cryo-sleeping 'corpsicles' frozen in 'dewars', filled with cryoprotectants alongside their friends and families (or the 'context'!), in a 'patient' care bay connected 24/7/365 to 'crackphones' that moniter fissures in their bodies all the time including special 'respirocycles' (artificial O2-breathing bloodcells pumped into their bodies at a regular basis!) and going through their first life-cycle (second re-freeze 'matrix' that replaces 60% of the water inside to turn their tissues into a glass-like liquidform)... and those who believe that one day science can be able to clone their bodies from 'neuropreserved' genetic material and who wish to be 'cephalically-isolated' (called 'neuros' in the jargon of Alcorians that use this neuroengineering technology occasionally) until 'reanimated'... to those who wish to be frozen while still alive in a process called 'vistasis'!

This 'utopian biotechnology' (also called 'paradise engineering'), has created an 'enhancement divide' between those 'terraformers' (unpreserved humans!) and the transhumanists who aspire for what they call 'morphological freedom' in these stainless steel vats.
We are face-to-face with this new 'biological fundamentalism' of 'self-evolution' that refer derogatorily to us Dustafarians by such Alcorians and Extropians as mere humans (mehums), or 'humies'!
The arties (AIs) in the future will look at us Dustafarians and laugh: they were the cryonicit's mad dream, but now they are the immortal enhants, RoboSapiens, the homorphs (human morphs), the neomorphs, ultra-humans, pseudohumans, the transhumans, the post-humans... the exes who 'transed' from mere flesh ,to the 'technorapture'.

One day, machines will overcome humans and enslave them in what scientists pre-describe as the point of 'Singualrity' or artificial emergence! (This really has already happened only in silico: 'network emergence' of Internet-based AI).

God spot

Situated in the left partial-lobe and has sense of 'spatial self', this newly discovered region in the brain (by means of fMRI 'functional magnetic resonance imagery' scanning technique), is hotly debated now as that same region that links us humans to God or the purported thought of having one.
Scientists are never tired of giving us various, quasi-scientific new intelligence tests in a plethora of testing methods: SQ ('spiritual quotient', also called sometimes SI 'spiritual intelligence'). This intelligence test advocates the God spot which give off 40 Hz oscillations that can be detected in the brain, and according to Robert Freitas there's a new Q! Called also SQ for Sentient Quotient: it is the amount of data a living organism can process per unit of time (baud/kilogram), which vary bewteen +50 in uberhumans, down to -20 in living 'insentient' plants!

blood stocks

Shares paid by companies as a compensation for the WWII Jews' Holocaust (which happens to be this very day I'm writing this def.), in what is called the 'Wiedergutmachung' policy by the German Goverment.
Blood stocks are just the tip of the iceberg of what the Jews had lost that no money can replace. In this Yom HaShoa (Holocaust Memorial Day, 15th April), I salute all the 15 million Jewish people across the World.

caffeinol

0.2-0.33 to 0.65 g/kg ethanol + 10 mg/kg caffeine mixture that has proved to be a perfect 'cortical neuroprotector' if given intravenously to ischemic-stroke patients to counter their illness.
Another benefit for holywater alcohol (unlike the alchoffee caffeinol, this coming one's pure injectable alcohol called injecTx), is its Holier-than-thou ability to counter BHP (benign prostatic hyperplasia), or enlarged prostate.

Bow for the cup!

juicetarian

Fresh-squeezed juices are a hoax: they lack the natural fiber that fruit has which can render them 70-60% less bioavailable.
Fruitarians had it almost right, but they also miss direly on other important nutrients not already available in fruit/vegs.
Funny thing is the way them vegetards sometimes cross the line of sanity in dealing with their dietary habits: there is first off, the fruitarian who eats raw fruit/vegs. The juicetarian (also called liquitarian), who only allows fruit-and-veg-based beverages and water! Then again, some might disapprove of this all together and only drink water (called aquatarians/ waterians) and die from extreme malnutrition!
But the most ga-ga of them all is the pseudospiritual, sectarian-cum-vegetarian 'Breatharians': "people free of any need to eat or drink."
Huh!

tsunami denim

Very 'distressed', 'destruct' and 'destroyed' jeans as seen worn by cowboys!
Tsunami denim (named after that killer-wave in Asia), is just a small part in a whole family of wornout-look urbanwear that sprouted out of the Trash Generation culture of the 90s, where you get hand-battered, ultra clear-washed, stone-washed, super-stone, painted, devore (spotted), sand-blasted, acid-/enzyme-washed, streaky, dirty, crushed jeans up the bazoo!
