hackback

A 'hackback' is when you devastatingly (and at exactly the correct moment) cut through a flow of verbal abuse being directed at you - by using your own brutally accurate observations about your assailant's lack of intelligence, lack of good looks etc. All of those then pale into insignificance, as with rapier-like accuracy, you finally observe that your assailant is also well known in his or her peer group, as being someone who is completely unable to string any sentence together that lacks at least ten repeated swear words.

"Who says words can't kill? I looked at the bully and then chose my exact moment to deliver him a killer hackback. He left me and my friends completely alone after that."

Olfactorins

Those lovely, unknown, rain-smelling molecules released from the ground into the night air after the first rains, ready to hit the olfactory receptors of your own still-a-bit-asleep-nose as you wake up to a new dawn.

"She is aware the air on the plateau is filled with the scent of olfactorins after the first rains as she continues to pound her way onwards: her eyes focussed now on her distant goal, the two, upside-down baobabs at the edge of the escarpment."

urbinned

The devastating feeling, or state of existence, or situation that arises when you have to explain to someone that the word you really loved, and which you really thought would be accepted by the urban dictionary - has instead been almost immediately binned and trashed by the editors

"I've just been totally urbinned! My word's been dumped, rejected, trashed, call it what you like - all within minutes of my submitting it!"

bed-killer

A person (usually an adult) who is so terribly overweight and cumbersome that you just know the mattress wont be able to take the strain and that the bed will audibly crack and then sag like a broken matchstick when the overweight person gets onto it - usually by throwing themselves backwards onto the bed.

Wow! Look at the gross size of that man - bet he's a bed-killer.

now-angel

Another word for a friendly ghost - the departed soul of someone you lived with and loved very dearly

"I so, so wish I had a hotline to my now-angel, so as to ask her where the hell she put that thing before she died two years ago. So frustrating, because it used to live in one place only, but it's not there now!"

dewclaw-hooking

Is like when a lion swipes at its prey and hooks one its front paw dewclaws into whatever it's chasing or clouting at, so the prey animal just cant escape.

"I have to stay calm and try and eye-dominate you because if I don’t, and you’re not too thick or lazy, you’re quite capable of rearing up on your hind legs, and then dewclaw-hooking me off this horizontal tree-branch with a swipe of one front paw."

Quantizement

"Quantizement" (or quantisement with UK spelling) is the process which happens when one person's (or entity) thoughts are immediately known to another person (or entity), but without any form of written, verbal or other means of physical communication being used. The process is so rapid, happening with a zeptosecond (which is one trillionth of a billionth of a second), that it seems as if the generation and receiving of the thoughts between the two separate consiousnesses are simultaneous.

This girl, standing in front of him, here on the terrace, hadn’t spoken. Yet, he knew exactly what she was thinking. Her thoughts were flickering in his consciousness exactly as they were forming in her brain. And that kind of temporal connection and quantizement shouldn’t be possible, unless it was happening in close to Planck time, or at least in zeptoseconds.
