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.

Inherited Object Property

An IOD is a property that was copied from its parent object during its objects creation.
Kyle: Why did another table just appear? It looks exactly the same as the one we have in our kitchen!
John: Ah. The table has been copied from this table and shares the same Inherited Object Property(ies).

she/her-ing objects

when (often self proclaimed liberal girls) assign inanimate objects she/her pronouns

it seems to be done as a feminist act ….. but haven’t women been objectified enough?
i see your yellow hydro flask with a RBG sticker, and compliment it : “oohh, she’s cute”
lighting a bowl and it catches: “oh she’s going now!”
looks at dress in mirror: “she’s giving y2k glamour”

in each scenario, “she” referring to the inanimate object - hence she/her-ing objects

object-oriented programming

Object-oriented programming (OOP)is a computer programming model. Unlike procedural programming, object-oriented programming uses objects to organize code. This is done with objects, classes, methods and attributes.
This approach to programming is well-suited for programs that are large, complex and actively updated or maintained.
some examples of object-oriented programming languages are: Java, C#, C++
