shanticina/shantisina 

At Rainbow Gatherings, when someone yells this, everyone comes running to help them! I saw it in action & the Rainbow Family even has attorneys!

When I heard shanticina/shantisina I went running to help this guy who'd been handcuffed. Everybody responded to the call for help. Someone sawed the handcuffs off the guy & people circled around him & got him away from the 6~up! (cops)

arguing semantics 

When people argue about the definition or meaning of a word. This usually starts in the middle of an argument and distracts from the main topic of the argument. Whether done intentionally or not depends on the people arguing.

When an argument deteriorates and its focus becomes one about word definitions rather than the main topic, a person will usually say "Oh, now we're just arguing semantics". Usually by this point, the arguement has become a waste of time because it has morphed into a bunch of bickering about irrelevant, unimportant details rather than the original main point.

If someone accuses you of arguing semantics, they're usually accusing you of intentionally avoiding the topic. In this case, the person may or may not be misusing the phrase in order to do so. If you're not actually arguing about word definitions, then they should accuse you of being nit-picky instead (as that would be more accurate) but to explain it to this degree becomes a bit nit-picky in and of itself and so for obvious reasons, this is the end.

Jenny: Hey Tommy, did you do your homework?
Tommy: I would never do my homework.
Jenny: What do you mean? You always do your homework!
Tommy: No, I would never "do" my homework - that would be gross. But if you want to know if I completed my homework...
Jenny: Oh, please. Spare me. Now you're just arguing semantics.

shamanism

Shamanism combines a range of traditional beliefs and practices focusing on communication with the spirit world, and higher power. A practitioner of shamanism is known as a shaman.

There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world, but several common beliefs are shared by all forms of shamanism. Shamans are intermediaries between the human and spirit worlds. According to believers, they can treat illness and are capable of entering supernatural realms to obtain answers to the problems of their community.

"Shamanism must take a lot of heart, care and dedication."

semantika 

(eng. semantics) When you open html element and close it with different tag. Etc. <h5></h4>
Also using div element too much will make for a good semantika on your website.

Code editor might underline your semantika but just ignore it or turn off this "feature"

P1: Kamo to čo tam použivaš section, aside, header, footer elementy som to v živote nevidel. (Dude why u are using section aside header footer elements I have never seen them)
P2: Hej no to je na kokot semantika, prepiš to na div. (You right, that semantika is fucked up, just replace it with div)
