new agey

Adjective used to describe a new age type individual, i.e., someone who has a crystals collection, has many self-improvement books, believes in alternative medicine, practices yoga and meditation, eats organic, wears socks and sandals, and/or believes in auras and energy fields. Can also be used to describe new age practices.

I was set up with this guy, but he was way too new agey. He took me out to a vegan restaurant and insisted that I close my eyes and feel his energy fields. Is he for real?!?

big macher

Hybrid english-yiddish term for big shot. A man who is (or thinks he is) really important. Usually refers to someone who is showing off in some way.

So, I hear Jerry bought himself a BMW. With his blonde bimbo girlfriend and his fancy-shmansy lifestyle. He thinks he's some sort of big macher.

Player-Stayer Complex

Psychological term describing a woman who wants her man to be simultaneously: a) charming and unavailable and b) completely committed. Basically, the woman's version of the madonna-whore complex. Leads to perpetual state of dissatisfaction with men.

Jennifer has a total Player-Stayer complex. She either goes for nice guys and gets bored, or goes for total sleazes and is disgusted. Good luck finding her a man!

pronoia

The delusion that people think better of you than they actually do. The opposite of paranoia.

Phil thinks that he is indispensable at work and that his superiors and colleagues adore him. Sadly, this is a case of pronoia since he is totally incompetent.

or

Melanie has a case of pronoia because she thinks everyone looks up to her, when in reality, people think she's quite obnoxious!
