phanting

Imagining something in vivid detail, mentally simulating the experience, like dreaming, but generally awake. Derived from "phantasia", which is another word for the capacity of mental visualization.

Usually in reference to visual experience, but can also apply to the visualization that goes on in the process of engineering design.

"Aphantasic?" "It means they can't phant. I mean, they can't imagine how it would feel to look at a thing until they actually look at it." "I don't think it's possible to know exactly what it would feel like until you actually experience it." "Well kind of, phanting has limits, nobody's perfect at it, but some people are pretty good at it."

"Yes, I'm sure the design will work. I've been phanting for days."

Grape Prancing

Grape Prancing: the act of stomping grapes to make wine like a tourist.

Someone who always wanted to stomp grapes for wine but doesn't want to get too dirty. So while the original grape smashers are stepping away like it's nothing, the tourist is kinda prancing around, giggling like a fool, and not really doing much work but taking up space.

Being a I love Lucy fan, Kim always wanted to go to a grape stomp but after less then a minute of Grape Prancing she was told to leave.
