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.

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.

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.

leather

natural animal asset, ideally placed, by Nature Itself, on the actual animal, in perpetuity.

something you no longer need in the modern world, with all these breathtaking technological advancements and successfully applied research in the field of better-for-you, more ethical, more sustainable materials.

opportunity to evolve beyond being a selfish traditionalist.
person A: no! my favourite brands are still producing leather goods inscribed with Gucci/D&G/LV/...
person B: no! there is nothing more luxurious than a leather couch or car seat.
person C: no! that black leather jacket makes me feel trendy/cool/younger than i actually am, the feeling needs to be real.

sunscreen

something you definitely need, regardless of how old you are, and untouchable you feel right now (me, at 18), to make sure you will always age gracefully (aka. for sure less wrinkles and sunspots). use A LOT! pick the highest SPF you can find, and reapply regularly, the sun has no mercy! and keep in mind that, broadly speaking, right now, that SPF pretty much refers to how often you need to reapply. understand the difference between a chemical sunscreen and a mineral one, read some reviews and pick the type you are most comfortable with. and yes, one will make you look a bit more white when it has a higher SPF, but it's healthier.

a tan is a skin burn, so it's damaged skin. embrace your natural, initial, skin colour, and don't blindly follow current beauty trends. think about your future look.

stick to the shadows, if you're seeing natural light around, this means the sun hits you in some way already, don't worry so much about your vitamin D, that's not how you optimise heath for your bones (but do go and check to see if you have a vitamin D deficiency, it might be genetic, and you might need supplements, you might need to take some vitamin D3).

don't go to the beach to get a tan, go for the view, the salty air, the vast open space for swimming, or just the pleasure of hanging around in water, if that's more your style.
Doug: i see light outside, the sun is there, somewhere. where's my 50+ SPF mineral sunscreen? this London weather is not kind on my skin. where are more clouds? damn you, global warming, damn you!

Levy's Distribution

mathematical algorithm that that creature that you hate, the annoying fly, uses as a flying pattern. unbelievable!
seems like a useful evasive manoeuvre.
Doug: Levy's Distribution, huh? even here? things are not that random.

halo there!

what you say when you see an angel walking.
Doug: halo there!
Gabrielle: halo back!

Doug: yes, i've been working on it at the gym, thanks for the notice.
