First Publication Excitement 

FPE is the intense enthusiasm one has after finally getting one of their definitions published on "Urban Dictionary" (which is usually preceded by numerous failing attempts and "Sorry, --- was not published" e-mails)

A's Alter Ego: Don't have the "First Publication Excitement" just yet, no one cares.
A: Stop being such a mood-killer. I hate you!
A's Alter Ego: Alright, but you're gonna get first-publication-disappointed soon... btw, I AM YOU!
