reading a textbook

An activity that extremely mentally accelerated individuals do not choose to partake in from the perceived notion that it is a waste of time for their intellectual pursuits; for others this also means running their head into a brick wall and trying to find things to highlight that could possibly be meaningful for future reference when in reality it only devalues the book's resale value.
Kyle doesn't partake in a reading a textbook cause otherwise it'd be a Chiang reaction of boredom; but that's because he's smarft. Such smarft wow.

Read Receipt Ghost

Read Receipt Ghost (pronounced: reed ree-SEET gohst)
noun, informal

1. A person who has deliberately turned off read receipts in a messaging application, making it impossible for the sender to know whether the message has been read, thereby creating an air of uncertainty. A technique often employed by those who are: habitual liars, privacy ‘enthusiasts’, and/or those who only use people for selfish purposes while ghosting (in an unprovable way) the rest of the time.

Pronunciation: /ri d rɪˈsi t goʊst/
“I’ve been messaging him for days and either he turned off his read receipts or he’s not seen my messages; he’s a read receipt ghost.”
“Dude only texts me when he wants something, when I text, nothing. Dudes’ got read receipts turned off and says “I didn’t see your messages””
“I’ve noticed you’re a read receipt ghost, mind turning on your read receipts for me?”
