Geoengineering
Loosely defined as the intentional large-scale manipulation of the global environment; planetary tinkering; a subset of terraforming or planetary engineering. Techniques proposed include sulfate cannons, space mirrors, and huge buckets of white paint.
In 1996 Thomas Schelling wrote, “’Geoengineering’ is a new term, still seeking a definition. It seems to imply something global, intentional, and unnatural….” Geoengineering is the last gasp of a dying civilization.

Geoengineering
When humanity, after failing its driver's test for Planet Earth, decides the only solution is to hotwire the climate system with planetary-scale tech. It’s the desperate Hail Mary of climate change, involving massive interventions like spraying reflective aerosols into the stratosphere to bounce away sunlight (Solar Radiation Management) or seeding the oceans with iron to suck CO2 out of the air. Critics call it a dangerous, global-scale experiment with potentially catastrophic side-effects, like messing up monsoon rains. Proponents argue we're already running an unintended experiment by burning fossil fuels, so we might need a giant thermostat.
Example: "Bro, my carbon guilt is so bad I started biking to work. Then I read about geoengineering and now I'm just waiting for them to launch the giant space mirrors to fix everything while I keep my SUV."

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.
Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck
A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
