Nag-horny-car-aback
American pronounciation of Nagorny Karabakh, an Armenian speaking supposedly autonomous region in Azerbaijan, which until recently hosted a separatist republic od Artsakh. The transition of this territory to the hands of it's internationally recognized owner had to do with Russia, whom Amrenia has aliance with, was too busy supposedly protecting it's own people in Donbass by shooting rockets as far as Lviv to help. It didn't help that Azerbaijan is allied with Turkey, a problematic NATO member.

Putamás
Similar to Esperanto "putinido", a compound of Spanish "puta" and "más", Putamás refers to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who is a majestic cunt. The -amás part of this word hints to Hamas, a terrorist group dominating the Gaza strip famous for lauching many non-guided missiles at Israel, whom Russia doesn't consider a terrorist organization.
Neom
A Saudi Arabian vanity project on the shores of Gulf of Aqaba and Red Sea, started after the failure of Jeddah Kingdom Tower. Neom is mainly known for The Line, a trench from the Straits of Tiran to Tabuk, which is supposed to become a dystopian AI-governed linear city. Other structures in Neom include a desert ski resort, a marina, a port, an airport, and multiple excessively expensive hotels. The territory of Neom is supposed to be a free economic zone free of at least some aspects of Sharia law.
onionization
The process of satirical news of yore becoming real and ever more relevant. Derived from the name of a famous satirical news outlet The Onion.
I can see a high degree of onionization in current geopolitical affairs. This article has onionized. This will definitely be onionizing in a few years when an event happens again.

strotorway
Portmanteau of "street" (or "stroad") and "motorway". A strotorway is a multi-lane urban freeway oficially designated as a motorway (that is no mopeds), which, like a non-motor stroad, has too many tightly spaced exits, onramps, offramps, and interchanges. This leads to excessively many lane changes, making a strotorway more dangerous than a motorroad, just like a stroad. Strotorway placement in close vicinity of downtown, if not right in the middle, creates abnormal levels of noise and pollution, and creates an obstacle for vehicles not allowed on them. The speed limit, whatever it may be, is vehemently disobeyed, moreso than on a stroad, with the exception of slow trucks. Traffic jams are very common on strotorways, to the extent that it may actually be faster to bike, although unlike on stroads, traffic jams on strotorway are typically moving at faster than walking pace. Strotorways are often ringroads or parts of originally planned ring roads, however a particular city may be pursuing a different urban freeway system topology. In hindsight, strotoways are seen as a planning mistake, absence of planning, or a relic of olden times. Just like with stroads, the solution is to either turn strotorways into proper motorroads, or streets.
Jižní spojka in Prague is a prime example of a strotorway, whereas Magistrála is a stroad. A100 in Berlin is also a strotorway, whereas A10 around Berlin isn't quite a strotorway. M25 around London has some strotorway qualities, particularly many lanes and traffic jams. As for the USA, most intra-city Interstates are basically strotorways.
