Austrogen 

The hormone secreted while reading Jane Austen novels and viewing films or stage adaptations of her work (such as Pride and Prejudice). Often stimulates the pleasure and confidence center of the reader (or Austenites).

Heightened levels usually result in feelings of being "born in the wrong era," general dissatisfaction with current romantic practices, the state of chivalry, and possibly becoming an Anglophile.

Ice Cream is known to exacerbate the effects of Austrogen on the mind / body.
After reading Pride and Prejudice for the fourth time, Sally finally felt the powerful kick of Austrogen flowing in her heart, and was ready to overthrow meekness. If the Ice Cream's effects held, tomorrow she would demand payment from the swarthy stranger with so many unexplained overdue book fees.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
