philonym

philonym n (Gr. philia, love + Gr. onuma, name; cf. synonym, pseudonym) Ð gentle name used by lovers and spouses to address each other.

Examples: honey, sweety, baby, my darling, my love, my
angel.

All philonyms are so trite and trivial. "Honey, sweetyÉ" How can love be expressed in such a routine way? I will call you
"my happicle."

Philosodouche

Largely, philosodouches are people who believe they are exceptional at philosophy, but in fact are not. Obnoxiousness is a key component of every philosodouche. Unique to all philosodouches is the fact that they are both philosophical and douches. In fact, most philosodouches will be primarily interested in continental philosophy, which is predominantly the work of those such as Satre, Fichte, Anderson, Laurelle, Kierkegaard, Irigaray,Nietzsche, Gaillard, Hegel, Arendt and Magliola. In political philosophy, philosodouchism refers to the desire to dominate the world by decapitating all other human's heads using a guillotine and storing them in baskets.

For example, X begins analysing a beautiful sunset using philosophy. Everyone else is enjoying a cold beverage and appreciating the emotive and aesthetic beauty of it. Not only is X's philosophy unimaginably boring, but it is also manifestly false, thus making X a philosodouche.

Philosocrastination

Philosocrastination is the synergistic (jargon.1) combination of philosophy.6 and procrastination where discussions about subjects like self.5 nothingness and meaning are substituted for the regularly worthless activities and subjects of procrastination like blogging.2 youtube.3 and general arsing about, validifying the misuse of time by engaging in legitimately non-productive activities.

The satisfaction found in philosocrastination is borne in the knowledge that you have utterly wasted ur time by delving into a field of thought that is renound for not producing a commercially viable product, or concrete outcome...... ever... yet still manages to hold respect among the learned and intellectual of society.

In summary: Philosocrastination - The art of wasting time in the most wastefull way possible, without that dirty feeling of having wasted time.

Philosocrastination can make you go blind.
