Cellivate

The pavlovian act of reaching, or needing to reach, for one's cell phone in a group social setting in response to someone else's cell phone activity (usually a ring, or vibration, or merely lighting up).

Cellivation is an emergent behavior in cell-phone dominated cultures and can cause significant disruptions in group social activity (see example below).
A group of people are at brunch engaged in a deep conversation about social psychology. Suddenly, a cell phone on the table vibrates. Before the person can reach their cell phone, the conversation abruptly stops as people reach for their cell phones. This is cellivation at its cultural worst. "KQ's cell phone rang causing Scott to cellivate and interrupt the conversation, subsequently helping to invent this word"

celibate goggles

The unfortunate lens that one sees through when they have not gotten lucky for quite a long time where everyone begins to look attractive (mainly people who you would not normally find attractive if you were getting laid). When wearing the celibate goggles you should display the utmost caution as it can lead to mistakes and regret. Accessorizing oneself with the celibate goggles is an open invitation to personal ridicule.
Leah: Geez girl, that guy is NAHT hot.
case 1:
Becki: He's smokin'. I'm going to have a good time tonight.
Leah: Take off your celibate goggles before you embarrass yourself.

case 2:
Becki: I'd have sex with anyone tonight, I haven't gotten laid in so long.
Jess: Take off those goggles there.

Celibate

Some of the people trying to accuse the guy of being a womanizer didn't know he had been celibate for almost a decade (the way he had spent most of his life). He didn't think he was a priest, or cleaner/better than anybody else, it was just the way he lived, the same way people who decide live the opposite life live the opposite life. He didn't think their accusations made a lot of sense.

Celibate

Being celibate isn't the same thing as not getting to bathe or eat, it's not a punishment.
Being celibate, whether it's by choice or not, is not a punishment because sex isn't like food, you can keep going without it.
