Object permanence
Iam "I have no sense of 'object permanence' which causes me to struggle to pick favorites. This would explain why my 'axiomatic framwork of perception' isn't hierarchical. It's like a timeline or something. Most things are just... Conceptually adjacent to me."

emotional object permanence
it's object permanence, but for emotions.
the most common example is of people who have attachment issues or disorders that have attachment-issue-like symptoms (e.g. BPD), where people feel like their friends or partner do not love them unless they are showed affection and are reassured constantly.
it could literally be anything else too, like not thinking your soul-bound enemy hates you during times they don't show you hate

Person 1: I feel like my best friend doesn't like me unless they talk with me and reassure me they're my best friend.
Person 2: They do like you, and consider you a best friend as well..You just have emotional object permanence because momma didn't give you much love as a child.

postvolitional object permanence
Coined by Kimmina. A term describing the moment one grasps that a manufactured object outlives the will that brought it into existence. Adapted from Piaget's developmental concept of object permanence (the understanding that things persist when out of sight), but inverted: here, the object persists not beyond perception, but beyond purpose. Frequently observed in workshops, labs, and homes where 3D prints, prototypes, and other artifacts of past enthusiasm accumulate as silent witnesses to abandoned intentions. Touches on themes from material culture studies, consumption theory, and the sociology of technology: why humans produce more than they need, and what happens to the things left behind.
After a year of printing, his shelves had become a quiet museum of postvolitional object permanence: objects that once felt essential, now just there.

Soul digger
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.

pod person
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.

dead drop
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.

No Surprises Wedding
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. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
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.
