eSkypeism 

Doing something else while attending a Skype meeting.
"And what do you think Eve?" The question gets Eve, who has just been engaged in other things (surfing the internet) than listening to what was just said at the Skype meeting to freeze. "Can you repeat the question? I had some bad connection for a while." says the quick-thinking Eve and is soon back on track with what is discussed at the meeting again. Eve thinks "That was close" and that she needs to be more careful about when to engage in eSkypeism.

Escapeism 

Originating in the time of Confucius and closely linked with Taoism, it includes all activities, hobbies, and moments (for example, self-realizations and other forms of enlightenment) that induces a state of detachment, euphoria, occasionally memory loss, and can also often leads to adventure.
Escapeism can also be defined as a philosophy or "way" of life. The Escapeist philosophy can be defined in four parts (all of which have infinite potential to combine to fit each individuals' path):
1. The inclination to break free from confinement or control.
2. The ability to successfully avoid dangerous or unpleasant things.
3. A mastering of the art of escape to somewhere or from somewhere through certain rituals or activities specific to each individual.
4. A partiality to or impulse for temporary distraction from reality or routine.

Escapeism is not a religion, it does not involve any kind of deity, but rather a path of life and/or state of mind which exists as means of promoting compelling experiences which allow the individual to enjoy a transient, yet genuine and fulfilling euphoria.
The most common practiced form of Escapeism is often tied in with what sociologists would label "deviant behavior."

EsKPism is the high you get by being a KP fan . It pulled millions of fans all over the world through a shitty year 2022, so it's really effective and a great way to smile at life.

It is obtained by rewatching and editing all the contents you can find online, spending sleepless nights in a worlwide trending party to break Twitter and the net (with nearly 3 million tweets for a single hashtag), and stanning all sixteen hunks from KinnPorscheTheSeries, incidentally starting to learn Thai, instead of getting things done at home, at school or at work.

Downside is, once you get addicted, there's no way back. Don't start me on Bible stripping on "Come Together" in Taipei.
There's more to KinnPorsche The Series than esKPism. There's Tong on stage in Manila waving the rainbow flag for the world to see, cheered by the rest of the gang and thousands of fans.

And there's Mile stating KP is about soft power for his country in his Man Of The Year interview.

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.
