Authenticity Gap

The difference between how a brand, influencer, or company presents itself and what people actually experience. It’s the space between the polished marketing and the disappointing reality.

“Her LinkedIn posts are all about work-life balance, but she brags about 80-hour weeks. That’s the authenticity gap in action.”

Authentism

Among historical reenactors, commitment to and (especially) love of historical accuracy, to a degree that would be highly unusual among neurotypical people.

Those guys spend the night before an event researching 18th century insults; they must have some serious authentism.

Authesys

Derived from "Au" (Gold), the "Ship of Theseus" (rebirth through replacement), and "Synthesis".
It describes the act of creating value, meaning, or function out of what others perceive as trash, noise, or void. Authesys is the autonomous power to define a system or situation yourself – turning chaos into order simply by naming it and owning the process. It is the turning of 1+1=2 (predictable) into -1+1=0 or 1/0=error (undefined). The opposite of accepting the default settings of life.

Everyone said the project was dead and the resources were garbage. But Alex and Ilja didn't listen. They took the scraps, reconfigured the whole workflow from scratch, and turned the mess into a masterpiece. They pulled a total Authesys on that situation.

mustache authority

Derived from an occupy human rights video in which a man steps inside a residence and performs an illegal search and arrest all because he had a mustache that gave others the impression that he held some kind of real authority.

Guy- Man that guy had some real mustache authority going in their house like that in that video
Girl- Dude he didn't even have a mustache...
