Manuretia

To keep doing something stupid, even when you know it's bullshit.
"Cut the crap, you know you're wrong. Repeating it over and over is just manuretia."

"Scholars might refer to it as the 'sunk cost fallacy', but I prefer to call it manuretia."

Vampunization

Biting the neck and drinking the blood of someone who just received a vaccination shot. Performed by Vaxpires and with moderation, to avoid lethal exvaxguination.
"Romania announced a bold plan to accelerate vaccine distribution today: only 10% of the population will receive the shot, and the rest will gain their immunity through vampunization."

Manuretiae

Small, stupid, bullshit details that nobody cares about. A frequent component of mansplaining.
"Don't ask gramps where the salt is in the kitchen. He'll launch into a ten-minute diatribe of manuretiae about the history of salt."

simulbation

An engineering activity, where a system is simulated using software that encourages repeated iterations of the simulation. The simulation activity is its own reward, and may never result in a completed design.
Hey, are you ever going to finish that project, or are you just going to keep simulbating it? I'm tired of this endless simulbation, just finish the design!
