Heroification

When we place someone on a pedestal and forgo the reality of their humanity thus erasing their flaws and our ability to perceive them humbly.
Helen Keller's story is a great example of heroification. We focus on the miracle of her ability to learn to speak and forgo the reality that she was a radical socialist. This retelling doesn't allow us to see her flaws and all, just like us. She becomes a hero instead of an ideal person.

horsification 

A word that was coined on a brilliant essay that receieved a 1 during the 1993 AP Literature exam. The student who wrote this essay asserted that since May Swenson's human speaker from "The Centaur" assumed horselike attributes rather than human ones, the word "personification" was irrelevant, thus "horsification" took its place.
Intro: Was May Swenson on drugs when she wrote this?!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
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!
