Words you can keep

need-to-know basis 

Fairly self-explainatory, a tight security method in which information is only given to those who can present a good case for knowing about a project.
The example is classified, and given out on a need-to-know basis only. Obviously, it isn't funny.

Need to Know OCD

An obsession with wanting to know everything there is to know about a topic, subject, product, software, game, etc.
Due to my Need to Know OCD I had dozens of browser tabs open while I researched my current medical condition.

Need to know basis

Good because I need to know everything immediately and anyone telling you to withhold information from me need to be brought to me for execution, immediately.
Hym "You know I'm going to murder anyone telling you that I am on a 'need to know basis' right? That is one of the 2 things I said I would murder over 1. Pretend to be me in an overt capacity and 2. Withholding information FROM me. Bring anyone telling you that to me immediately. For murder."

What I need to know

If you would just tell me this it would solve all of my problems immediately.
Hym "I mean if you would just tell me what I need to know the problem would be solved. But you don't want want to because that would be too easy. Life should be hard. I should have to try. Why? Seriously, why should I have to if I don't have to naturally? If I can just get things without, why make me?"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
