Semi-Decent

Semi meaning half of, decent meaning kind of good. Two words formed to make a compound word, being semi-decent. Half of pretty good.

That girl over there looks semi-decent.
I would make a semi-decent skater.

decent

another word to use for "good", because "good" is so played out.

diamond deception

the illusion, manifesting a few days after becoming engaged, that women you know other than your fiancée have become vastly more attractive than they were before your engagement, causing you to temporarily question your decision to propose.

Origin: The engagement is sealed with a diamond ring, and your female friends aren't actually any more attractive than they used to be; hence, the "diamond deception."

Guy 1: Hey, congratulations on your engagement last week!
Guy 2: Thanks, bro.
Guy 1: How does it feel?
Guy 2: Well, honestly, these last few days I've been noticing how hot all my female friends are. But now that I'm engaged to be married, I'll never be with any other naked woman again!
Guy 1: Oh man... you're totally suffering from the diamond deception!

Decentralization

Decisions are made by many different groups and individuals.

To be elaborate, it's the separation and distribution of authority, resources, and/or bureaucratic processes and jurisdictions to lower levels of government, divisional and departmental levels, or lower/middle-level managers.

The Hacking Ethic encourages decentralization.

decentralized currency

Digital money organized by a synced distributed ledger online. While centralized currencies are backed by the economies of countries, decentralized currencies typically don't have a government affiliation. These currencies are run by incentivized volunteers via appropriate consensus algorithms. Much like incentivized volunteers run Uber, called drivers, and Airbnb, called hosts, incentivized volunteers, traditionally called "miners," run these decentralized currency protocols. Examples of decentralized currencies include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I haven't been trading much decentralized currency lately.
