ambipathy n (Latin, Greek ambi- (or amphi), both, on both sides + Greek pathos, feeling) - a mixture of sympathy and antipathy, of attraction and repulsion; a condition of being torn apart by conflicting feelings and aspirations.
"... At once I hate and love as well," - this line by Catullus, Roman poet of the first century BC, is one of the first literary expressions of ambipathy.
Dmitry Karamazov in Dostoevsky says that "a man is too broad" and is equally attracted by the two abysses--the upper and the lower ones, the ideal of Madonna and the ideal of Sodom. In this sense, Dmitry and perhaps Dostoevsky himself are the brightest manifestations of this common trait of ambipathy.
The feeling of looking forward to something with repugnance or aversion. A feeling of dread for something you know or fear will occur. A combination of anticipation and antipathy.
The prospect of spending an entire weekend at the cabin with no cellphone service, internet, or television filled her with a sense of anticipathy that was hardly blunted by the beautiful landscape.
Antiphysicalism is a metaphysical philosophy that rejects physicalism and supports there are more things besides matter and physics, antiphysicalism has extraphysicalism as its main philosophical current, where everything is extraphysical and even physics are part of extraphysics and vice-versa. Antiphysicalism usually advocates extraphysical mechanics and extraphysical theory as means to justify antiphysicalism and it supports that humanity should think beyond matter and beyond physics, such as understanding that there are a big chance to exist so many more things beyond matter and physics, such as extraphysics and even multiverses and multidimensions.
"Antiphysicalism is an interesting philosophy and way of thinking, it's just like antipositivism and antimaterialism, but about physicalism, and that's nice that there are more people who think beyond physicalism and can understand that there's big probality to exist things beyond matter and physics, such as extraphysicalism actually says, but we are still so limited in almost all ways to understand and see that."
The term Antipater comes from the name of Alexander the Great's teacher and general.
It is now used as a derogatory remark for those who live too much in facts and ignore imaginary possibilities. It is often used against women who logically talk their way out of sleeping with you.
That beoatch was such an antipater, I couldn't evenget a blow without a lecture from her.
A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.
"That guy's a soul digger. He'll expect you to work full time, but you'll be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and childcare while he plays video games or watches TV."
A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
