1984 Delusion (Nineteen Eighty-Four Delusion)
Also called the 1984 Syndrome (Nineteen Eighty-Four Syndrome) and 1984 Effect (Nineteen Eighty-Four Effect), it is named after the George Orwell Novel "1984". It is where one believes that there is both no individualism and independent thinking because it is being suppressed by the government (Big Brother in 1984) that is controlling them. They also think that they are constantly being watched and monitored by the government through the camera, causing a lack of privacy. It also causes them to believe that language is limited (Newspeak) so that they don't have individualism and independent thoughts. All of this causes them to be isolated from one another and causes self-censorship.
The symptoms include Hyperawareness, Anxiety, Paranoia, Hypervigilance, Self-Censorship, Conformity, Distrust, Social Isolation, Cognitive Dissonance, Confusion, and Perceptual Distortion. In order to get the 1984 Delusion (if it were to exist), then there would have to be one or multiple of these effects: Pervasive Surveillance, Authoritarian Governance, Propaganda and Indoctrination, Fear, Punishment, Limited Privacy, Autonomy, Social Pressure, and Informants.

Man 1: For some reason, my friend won't talk to me. He doesn't speak, he is scared all the time, he is hyperaware, he thinks that the government for some reason which he calls "Big Brother", is watching him, he thinks that there are cameras everywhere, he is always alone by himself, and he even doesn't have or speak any thoughts out of his mouth. Do you know the explanation that causes this specific behavior?
Therapist: A-ha, then he is suffering from something called the "1984 Delusion (Nineteen Eighty-Four Delusion)", also called the "1984 Syndrome" or "1984 Effect". It causes people to think that they are under control by the government and have no freedom in anything, including thinking, speaking, or even language and individualism.
Guy 1: Oh my god! That's so horrifying!

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Nerd neck
A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
