Geneva Conventions 

A document listing the basic rights of humans, what not to do in a war, and the consequences of overstepping the bounderies of the contract. The most famous revision was made in 1949.

It has become a kind of bad punchline on the world stage, like that one smartass kid in school who got his ass handed to him by teacher(s) in front of everyone.
Diplomat: The Geneva Conventions are meant to protect the rights of all people during wartime so that no atrocities can be repeated as those in World War II.

Sensible Adults: So how's that going for you buddy? Because as far as I can see, that paper's done jack shit in recent conflicts.

Conceptionista 

Conceptionista is the lexical combination (see 'portmanteau') of the words Concept, which is a general idea, or something conceived in the mind, and Sandinista, a Nicaraguan authoritarian political party.

Despite recent attempts to make this term more popular it must be noted that its etymology is rather new.
Conceptionistas simply look at Concept Development as an Art, their own brains as the canvas, and the ideas they develop along the way are simply the masterpieces.
Person 1:"Wow! Did you see this brilliant new App?"

Person 2:"Oh yeah, that creator must be a real conceptionista!"

screen time conventions 

The phenomenon where until smartphones have been around for sufficiently long periods of time, there are multiple different conventions on how well a child should behave in order to get more screen time. Even though by now, there have been found the following deciding factors on whether someone (children or otherwise) should (be allowed to) have screen time: a) the desired duration of screen time, b) the purpose of having screen time, c) personal susceptibility towards the effect(s) of excessive screen time.
In our household, screen time conventions are strict; we have to consider behavior, purpose, and how long the kids can actually handle it without experiencing brainrot.
