axioms of existence 

don't ask me where these are from (part of some obscure theological theory somewhere), but here they are, the 4 pillars of existence, order matters:

1. love (for something)
2. absolute ethicality
3. growth
4. logic

Now, what can you do with these? Bring them up in casual conversation...and...what?
guru: these are the axioms of existence, my pupil.
pupil: um, ok, thanks! (ponders) aww, it looks like at the centre of the universe there's love!
guru: ...for something. don't get carried away romanticising. on average, there is love for life management. and, in opposition, at an overwhelming, massive proportion, there is love for experience, not for love as an experience. but yes, you seem to fall into the latter. cute.

wicked slam

(alternate versions to the sexual implication)
1. to prove a point and establish absolute authority
2. that cool hip upcoming prison

3. a malefic poetry contest. that verse tornado, that ravishes the audience and leaves a mark on the contestants. pure poetry! right?
4. that old, but still cool, Onyx song.
Doug: on his show, John Oliver did a wicked slam on the wicked US slam system. "Disgusted, busted"! (quoting Onyx) activism poetry, hard to compete there.

electric car

something nice to do for the environment, especially if you live in a country where a large percentage of the energy is clean. even though manufacturing it has a big impact on the environment, because of those darn batteries that every electric car company, and not only, is working on improving to the point of exasperation, with your purchase, you would be supporting the research to build better things, faster.

blissfully silent vehicle at city-friendly speeds compared to the other one.

alternate definition: my e-baby
friend: you're getting a car? i hope it's an electric car, you promote them like you work there, don't disappoint.
Doug: placed my order. waiting. (pacing impatiently) delivery estimate sometime next year. this will be a hellish wait. it takes way too long to build my electric baby! we need to move faster. funding always helps. have you considered an electric car? better than that old Covid Audi of yours.

heavy metal 

music genre that can infuse even the most sad romantic song with anger, making you feel the bitterness behind the soft flowing words, previously too subtle, before this translation, teaching us not to make the mistake of idealising toxic, co-dependant situations, and glorifying drama as passion - "It must have been love", a good example, and what many like to focus on when looking at their relationships.
for the keen introspecter, there will be truth to the words "heavy metal broke my heart".
researcher: what heavy metal would you recommend?
Doug: i think i'm gonna go with osmium.
