Relaxtasting 

The act of chillin while simultaneously eating a delicious food.
Yo man, what did you do last night?

Oh not much, just a bit of relaxtasting.

relativistic 

moving at an extremely high velocity.

From the Special Theory of Relativity published in 1905 by Albert Einstein and his expression e=mc^2.

Although this term is strictly a hyperbole, since only very small particles in lab accelerators can approach the speed of light, it's use can be an appropriate exaggeration in certain cases.
I just got passed by an R1, he was relativistic!

Relaxtivity

An activity that while doing provides relaxation to the individual.
I find that walking through the forest give me a lot of relaxtivity because the forest sounds soothe me.

relaxivist 

re-lax-iv-ist

n. A proponent or practitioner of relaxivism: one who chooses not to be alarmed about issues promoted by ideologues as something to be alarmed about.

adj.
1. Of, relating to, or engaged in relaxivism.
2. Of, relating to, or being an relaxivist.
Professor Brown, a leading relaxivist researcher, is teaching a course in relaxivism to help students control their stress responses to those issues discussed in the mainstream public narrative that use stridency and buzzwords but which are are short on empirical evidence.

moral relativist 

A moral relativist is one with a snarky attitude and bloated sense of self-importance. They can be found loitering about college campus' for years on end in multiple graduate school programs. If you are unfortunate to have one in your freshman philosophy class they will ask "questions" that are not so carefully disguised claims of superiority over the professor and all other students. Often known to despise organized religion and wear anti-religious bigotry on his/her sleeve, while displaying outrage at all other forms of bigotry. They become loud and angry if you point out that such outrage ironically hinges on moral absolutism.
- There is no right and wrong, there is only perception of right and wrong.
- Is that so? Well you won't mind if I do this.
::smacks moral relativist in the mouth::
- OW! Why did you do that?
- I perceived it as the right thing to do during this conversation.

Relativistic Travel

Getting from A to B at a high enough velocity that Einstein's Special Relativity stops being a math problem and becomes your travel agent. The key feature is time dilation: for the travelers moving at a substantial fraction of light speed, time passes slower than for the people they left behind. You can cross the galaxy within a human lifetime... but you'll return to a future where everyone you know is dust.
*Example: The classic Twin Paradox. One twin blasts off on a round-trip to a star 10 light-years away at 99% light speed. For her, the journey might take 15 years. She comes home only 15 years older. But on Earth, over 20 years have passed. Her stay-at-home brother is now older than her. This isn't sci-fi magic; it's a direct prediction of tested physics. Relativistic travel is the ultimate "you can't go home again" scenario, because home exists thousands of years in your future.*
