Gun like object (GLO)

According to Wikipedia a gun is “a device or ranged weapon designed to throw a projectile using pressure or explosive force. The projectiles are typically solid, but can also be pressurized liquid, or gas. Solid projectiles may be free-flying or tethered”. A gun like object or GLO is any fictional device in a video game, video, graphic novel or story that fits this definition. It can also be an actual object that is not a gun but has some resemblance to a gun.

A player pushes one button to aim the gun like object (GLO) at an opponent and another to fire it.
The “noisy cricket” of the movie “Men in Black” is a noted “fictional firearm”, or GLO.

Police have mistakenly shot people who pull phones from a pocket, mistaking the phone for a gun like object.

Object Localization

Object Localization is the concept of an object escaping hyperspace to become physicalized. This phenomenon occurs when an entity/object's death boolean is set to 1 or true. It can also occur if an entity/object brute-forces outside of hyperspace and converts into an electron on exit.

Alexandra: Right... So what the fuck just happened?
Bob: It's simple, the chair entered the null class of trans-hyperspacial leveling and experienced object localization.
Alexandra: That doesn't answer my question.

Inanimate Object Empathy Disorder (IOED)

Inanimate Object Empathy Disorder (IOED) is an armchair-psychological designation for people who experience extreme amounts of empathy for inanimate objects -- specifically objects that depict living things that appear damaged or distressed.

IOED describes someone who experiences legitimate feelings towards objects that appear as if they deserve sympathy, support, and even help as if they were animate beings. However, because these objects are not actually living beings, these impulses to care for, help, and support are misplaced. Hence the disorder designation.

If someone if your life continually says things like "awwwww.... that poor x" where x is more often than not a stuffed animal with a missing ear or a tear in its fabric, then that person in your life suffers from IOED.

Using the term Inanimate Object Empathy Disorder (IOED) in context: Because my wife has IOED, when she found 2 stuffed animals on the road, disheveled, she felt a burning desire to "save" them and "nurse them back to health" in our home. Now, thanks to her IOED, we have a new shelf in our family room with "recovering" stuffed animals on it that fill her heart with joy every day.
