Paranight

A paranight is when an abnormality occurs during the night, typically hearing things, seeing things, or abnormal events occurring during the night.

Last night was a total paranight, I kept hearing whispers in the hallway, and my bedroom lights flickered on and off by themselves!

Paradising

The present participle of *"Paradise"*, a nod to the verb *"to paradise"* which technically means "to turn into a paradise" or "systematically turning something adorable, heavenly, breath-taking".

"Shut up i'm paradising in my backyard."
"They spent paradising on their honeymoon."

Parasitic Link

Documents that have unwanted and un-needed links that make it tough to edit or save in the cloud. Almost a guarantee the finance team have meddled...

This excel sheet is full of parasitic links, I'm giving it the booster shoot and sending back for cleaning

Paranime

Animation created outside Japan that deliberately adopts the visual style, storytelling methods, or production sensibilities of anime, but has no direct roots in Japanese studios, creators, or source material.
Examples: Canon Busters, Castlevania, Devil may cry (Netflix series), Lord of Mysteries

In short:
Anime’s twin that grew up outside Japan.

Personal note:
Coined as a universal term to clearly separate anime (Japanese animation) from anime-inspired works made in other countries. “Paranime” comes from para- (parallel) + anime, meaning it runs alongside anime without being the same.

Friend: “Bro, Castlevania is the best anime ever.”
Me: “It can’t, because it’s not even an anime—it’s paranime.”

Parafite

The feeling of persistently searching for a word, idea, or object that you believe exists, but in reality does not. A kind of “intellectual phantom limb,” where the brain insists on recalling something that has no actual reference or dictionary entry.

“After hours of trying to remember that term, I realized it was pure parafite.”

“Our debate was a total parafite—we spent twenty minutes looking for a quote that never existed.”

Parasite

It’s not just someone who does bad things. It’s someone who feeds on others. Someone who steals lives, safety, innocence — and feels nothing for what it costs. A parasite is a person who stopped being a person the moment they decided someone else’s pain was their right. I don’t hate them… I mourn what they could’ve been. But I won’t let them keep feeding.

"Anyone who is an irredeemable criminal, con-artist, ra*ist, or p3d0, these people are parasites."
