A taste experience opposite to Umami, imamu is the failure profile of flavor perception first coined by Nicolas Vassiliadis, former pastry chef.

Usually found in imitation products that try to recreate experiences such as plant-based meat or oil-based chocolate, it is the failure of richness that collapses into a hollow, disappointing finish.
“That protein bar is pure imamu.”
“Cadbury Chocolate used to be good but now it's got that imamu taste — hits sweet at first then dies in your mouth.”
“The sauce tries to come across rich, but it ends up imamu and gets less appealing after every bite."

socratic immunity 

The privilege a law student asks for so that he is not called on in class for the day. A student may give either an excuse or a justification for this request, preferably by email ahead of time, or in person right before class. The term is called "Socratic" immunity because most professors in law school use the Socratic method of teaching, grilling a student with questions for ten minutes of class or more.
Socratic immunity is critical because most law school professors count class participation as at least a small factor in a student's grade.
