John R.

An obsessive elderly man who, while seemingly friendly at first, will become obsessive and clingy once you become friends. Will call you daily multiple times until you answer the phone, and will make excuses to come to your house, such as claiming he forgot something or left something or claiming he wants to give you something. Will then not take a hint and overstay his welcome. If he can't mangle his way into your house, he will stop by uninvited, and knowing you won't want to be disrespectful and tell him to leave, will further overstay his welcome. If you do not pick up the phone, he will come to your house, thus forcing you to answer the phone. Will drive by your house numerous times in a stalking nature. Will insist on going everywhere with you, no matter the place, and will refuse to wash his hands after he uses the restroom. Don't get yourself a JR. (John R.)
Elizabeth: I just met this guy that's super friendly and is willing to help me with literally anything I need. He's great!
Cassandra: That's amazing, I'm glad you found a guy that's nice to you. Tell me more about him, what's his name?
Elizabeth: Thanks, his name is John.

Cassandra: John, John R.?
Elizabeth: Yes!
Cassandra: You've got yourself a John R. Have fun getting rid of him.
Elizabeth: What do you mean by that?
Cassandra: You'll see, just wait for the nonstop calling and obsessive, clingy behavior.

R-stan

(noun)
/ɑ r stæn/

Definition:
A Respectful Stan — a fan who supports an artist, creator, or public figure with genuine admiration while respecting their boundaries, privacy, and humanity.

Unlike obsessive or intrusive fandom behavior, an R-Stan believes that true support includes empathy, consent, and kindness. Being an R-Stan means celebrating someone’s work, not controlling their life.

Origin:
Coined by a fan who wanted to redefine what it means to support someone, after noticing how often the term fan is used for people who act disrespectfully toward artists.
The “R” stands for Respectful.
“She’s not the type to invade artists’ space — she’s an R-Stan.”

R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience)

A retroactively amended purchase experience is when a company changes the terms of the sale, after the sale. Companies can do this nowadays because most of us use cloud software, otherwise known as SaaS, Software as a Service. Since we have to connect to someone else's computer to USE our software, they have the ability to deny us access to this software without accepting new terms, that they can change on us at any given time. Since consumer protection in the United States is a joke, they face no consequences for doing so.

An example of this can be found with Adobe when they changed the terms of the sale to include terms allowing them to look through your content.

Or when Adobe took software you paid for, and disallowed you from activating it. perpetual licenses are not perpetual licenses as long as you must connect to someone else's computer to use what you paid for.
I really liked my $400 baby monitor, but now I have to pay extra for features it came with because the company did a R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience). I feel RAPEd!
