CYA-ishness

A quality or attitude indicative of the desire to document one's lack of culpability for foreseeable negative outcomes.

Derived from the acronym CYA, which stands for "Cover Your Ass" -- common parlance in the American workplace, used when warning co-workers to protect themselves with adequate, blame-deflecting documentation.
Joe is thankful to the Legal department for refining his skills at inserting stealth qualifiers (such as: "can," "may" and "helps to ... ") to enhance the CYA-ishness of his written materials.

Isheeta

The freshest girl you will ever see. She is super adorable, charismatic, and bubbly, and quite stubborn. She is an amazing friend to have, and is extremely academically driven. She is very loyal to all her closest friends, and has a great sense of humor. She seems to be conscientious about awkward moments in her life (that are not awkward at all!) Can also be used as a verb, to be a bubbly and charismatic person who constantly worries about being awkward.
Eg:

Girl 1: Did you see that amazing girl over there, cheerful and laughing with her friends?
Guy 1: Damn, she is fine. She must be an Isheeta!

Eg2:
Girl 1: Honey, you have such an amazing life. Everything's totally normal and exciting and positive.
Girl 2: Yeah, but everything is just so awkward!

Girl 1: Girl, don't Isheeta and stay positive about how normal your life is.
