interbeing 

The suggested replacement word for the verb "to be," coined by Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and scholar Thich Nhat Hanh. It means to inter-dependently co-exist. The meaning of interbeing recognizes the dependence of any one person or thing as to all other people and objects.

Not only is no man an island, but rather his interbeing is shared with the plants and animals he eats, the people who make his clothes and food, the people who populate his home, country and the very world he percieves, the insects that pollinate the trees that yeild his fruit, shade him from the sun, and provide lumber for his house.

interbecome (inter-become) 

Interbecome is a verb that expresses the vast, interrelated dynamism of coming to be, or mutual becoming, which characterizes reality as it is. Everything has a definite (though always new), emerging, evolving, and changing relationship with every other thing in the entire cosmos. This is a technical term that describes the interdependent co-arising of all phenomena, or in the words of the Buddha, 'When this exists, that comes to be, with the arising of this, that arises. When this does not exist, that does not come to be, with the cessation of this, that ceases.'

There is no such thing as anything that is disconnected from everything else, and there is no such thing in the universe (including the universe!) that is the same in two consecutive moments. If being (or interbeing) means anything, it means that we mutually become, we interbecome (inter-become). (NOTE: Interbecome is a replacement word for Thich Nhat Hanh's interbe because the latter, containing the root word 'to be.' implies too static an understanding of reality.)

Your future and my future interbecome (inter-become) together.

The lives of mother and child interbecome (inter-become) in sublime and sometimes difficult ways.

Indian Interview 

The Indian habit of interviewing everyone they meet for information on their family, including parents' jobs, income, number of siblings, plans for the future, possible marriageability, etc. They will find out everything and then decide if you are the type of person they want their kids to hang out with.

"Wow, Simran! That car ride with your mom was crazy."

"Haha, sorry bro. Did she give you the Indian Interview?"

job interview 

A process in which arrogant recruiters deny themselves the benefits of many talented, capable, candidates due to an unfair screening process that in absolutely no way reflects the everyday job situation or assesses the skills required to succeed.

A talented person who had produced major growth in his previous company and had 5 years of experience in C# got a rejection after a job interview in which the recruiter said he was not skilled enough to do the job. This was because they asked questions on language concepts that are rarely used in C# and gave a brainteaser algorithm to code up in a 15 minute time limit without a compiler or computer.

Self-Interview 

Conversation style where one person speaks by phrasing a questing in a simple yes/no format, and answering their own question with rapid-fire response. This style is made popular by professional and collegiate coaches during press conferences, and has surfaced in the corporate world. In the latter scenario, this conversation method is employed by people of lower IQ who lack confidence in their ability. True masters of this method will deploy their own third-person reference.

Suzy: Do these pants make me look fat? No. Did I spend too much? To be truthful, yes. Will I score tonight? Definitely.

Tiffanie: Does Tiffanie care about Suzy's self-interview? No. Does Tiffanie wish Suzy would STFU? Yes.
