Anecdata 

A made up word for cynics to get creative with their apathy toward human experience.
Person 1: His apathy toward the impetus of human experience, which IS often expressed in anecdotes, in the formation of them coming to terms with just life in general has caused him to invent the word "Anecdata", so there may be hope for him yet still if he becomes interested in etymologies or lingustics more.
Person 2: Incredible!

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
