Carbonwashing

Carbonwashing is similar to Greenwashing. Carbonwashing is the practice of virtue signaling by companies or individuals to proclaim that they are purchasing "carbon credits" or similar type carbon producing offsets as a means to polish their corporate image. While, in the background they may or may not be doing this as it is a very shadowy audit process to actually prove that you are indeed having any impact whatsoever further to whatever metrics you are using to illustrate.

I just came from a conference and they were speaking of "carbon offsets" and "carbon capture" credits for their business. I'm not sure that these companies are actually measuring this properly or even partaking in sames. I think many of them are just Carbonwashing us.

tweenior

A tweenior is the age at which you are between middle age and being a full senior citizen. It is also when you are in that early stage of denial when you don't want to full be called a senior citizen. Somewhere in the range of 55 to 65 you may be referred to as a "tweenior". This may be for either vanity purposes or could even be a new demographic age reference.

Hey Bob, I heard you are now a "tweenior". But, it's still too bad you don't get the full seniors discount.

bimulous

From the storybook, “A Bimulous Night” the word has no formal definition. Bimulous describes the ideal nighttime setting. A warm full moonlit night with a few clouds that play amongst the moon beams. Warm, quiet but not silent, as the frogs and the crickets play along. Innocent and completely safe, one can walk a path lit only by the moon and have not a care. Indeed, a Bimulous night is the perfect setting after the sun sets. Perhaps to reflect and be thankful for peace and serenity it brings.

She walked only lit by the moon as the peacefulness enveloped her. She was at complete calm in this truly bimulous night.
