person of interest

This is the libel-proof way of really saying "we think this guy is a suspect but we don't yet have probable cause and we want to talk to him and hope he's stupid enough to confess and make our case." But, for some reason, they choose not to come out and say that the person is a "suspect" that they would arrest on sight.

Person of interest means we don't have enough to arrest; suspect means we do.

Chief Smith said: "Witnesses described a bald white male with a 'wifebeater' shirt as being at the scene of the crime. He is a person of interest in this case and we would like to talk to him."

intervesting

Internet investing - investing of one's money with an investment company on the internet or online as opposed to sitting in an office with an investment adviser.

I found it so interesting that I was able to buy my mutual funds online today, Internet investing is so easy. I think intervesting is for me!

Canadian Interception

When one is already pooping on the toilet and a second party poops between their legs.

Joe had to poop but Megan was already pooping. With it being the only toilet, Joe went for the Canadian Interception to avoid a lengthy clean-up.

Love interest

Two people, usually at young ages, who test each other with romantic advances and have sexual feelings for each other, but don't actually commit to each other.

I was your love interest, and it was interesting.

bromantic interest

n., a nascent bromance. This is what a man has for a man he has just met, with whom he is likely to have bromance but the relationship has yet to advance to that level.

Dave's going to go over to the coffee shop and chat with that guy that he met at the party last night. He's his bromantic interest.

Interesting

A term used by the YouTube comedy duo Twosetviolin and their fan base to refer to anything music related that is unconventional in a bad way, but does not quite merit the title of Sacrilegious . The term originated with a video where Twoset reacted to the performance of a prodigy who improvised a piano sonata.

The show I saw last week was Interesting!

interbecoming (inter-becoming)

(noun, adjective) The vast, interrelated dynamism of coming to be, or mutual becoming, which characterizes reality as it is. Everything has a definite (though always new), emerging, evolving, and changing relationship with every other thing in the entire cosmos. This is a technical term that describes the interdependent co-arising of all phenomena, or in the words of the Buddha: 'When this exists, that comes to be, with the arising of this, that arises.
When this does not exist, that does not come to be, with the cessation of this, that ceases.'

There is no such thing as anything that is disconnected from everything else, and there is no such thing in the universe (including the universe!) that is the same in two consecutive moments. If being (or interbeing) means anything, it means that we mutually become, we interbecome. (NOTE: Interbecoming is a replacement word for Thich Nhat Hanh's interbeing because the latter, containing the root word 'being.' implies too static an understanding of reality.)

When we abandon false notions that we are separate and permanent individuals and come to understand that we are all interrelated with all other beings, we begin to understand the meaning of interbecoming (inter-becoming).

The interbecoming (inter-becoming) of my person is inexorably intertwined with the interbecoming of your person-- and the interbecoming of both of us is only possible because we participate in the vast interbecoming of the entire cosmos..

Interbecoming (inter-becoming) is the ineradicable nature of all that is; all that is has an interbecoming (inter-becoming) nature.
