The momentary heart-stop you get when you're looking at pornography and think there's a picture of you up there, and you mentally catalogue whether any ex's may have secretly taken a picture of you without you knowing it and then posted it on the internet.
I was browsing a porn blog when I was struck with an acute case of pronanoia! But I quickly realized I didn't have a twin sister, or a bathtub full of Jell-O.

Pronoia is a mental condition we should all have.

Pronoia is neologism that is defined as the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having a sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to help the person.
It is also used to describe a philosophy that the world is set up to secretly benefit people.

-AH Simkins
My pronoia kicked in when I realized that it only takes a few months to learn a new language, and not several years.

Now I feel more courageous to learn yet another language.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
