Oriented aroace

A person who feels neither sexual nor romantic attraction to anybody - and is therefore aromantic asexual, or 'aroace' - but experiences an attraction which is strong enough to be recognized as an orientation.
There could be, for example, straight, bi, or gay aroaces.
A: "I... think I like you."
B: "Huh? I thought you were aromantic asexual?"
A:"Sure! But that doesn't mean I'm not attracted to people in any way... I'm an oriented aroace, and I think I have a squish (aromantic asexual crush) on you."

object-oriented masturbation

the stimulation or manipulation of one’s own ego by way of using object-oriented code in places where it has no advantage instead resulting in unnecessary complication and bloat.
Objective: Sum two numbers and print the result in the format “The answer is: X” where X is the sum of the two numbers:

Object-oriented masturbation solution:

function MathLib(){

this.answer = null;
}

MathLib.prototype.sum = function (x,y){

this.answer = x + y;
}

MathLib.prototype.getAnswer = function(){

return this.answer;
}

function Printer(){

this.preText = ”;
}

Printer.prototype.setPreText = function(str){

this.preText = str;
}

Printer.prototype.out = function (str){

document.write(this.preText + str);
}

// To run
var math = new MathLib();
var print = new Printer();
math.sum(1,1);
print.setPreText(‘The answer is: ‘);
print.out(math.answer);

Deadline-oriented

Someone who is "deadline-oriented" is an incorrigible procrastinator. Whether in school, work or personal life, the only thing that motivates this individual is an imminent deadline.

Whatever time is given for a task, the deadline oriented person will begin the task with not quite enough time to finish it, and work furiously to complete it before the deadline.

Journalists and students are some of the most "deadline-oriented" people.
After not working on her 50-page thesis all semester, Sarah pulled three consecutive all-nighters to finish it on time. Some might call her a procrastinator, but she prefers "deadline-oriented."
