sociopause 

When you go into social hibernation, cut-off from reality and go on a solo trip for a period of time.

If you plaster all over facebook and tell the world your plans to go on a solo trip, you are just a POSER.

My boss is driving me nuts at work and my friends are worthless, I think I'm going to hit sociopause soon.

Me: Hey, I'm done with my sociopause.
Friend: What did you do?
Me: Went hiking into the woods by myself for a couple of days.

sophopause 

A boundary that forms between what an expert or a genius has every right to say what they like because they are unquestionably an expert about the thing they are talking about, and what they have absolutely no right to comment on because they are so invariably full of shit about it.

Sophopauses may be bound in time — say, for example, after a traumatic or life changing event, after they've smoked a blunt or drank too much alcohol, or may be bound in (metaphorical) space — someone may be completely insightful about certain topics, only to be so fucking stupid in other things.

From the Greek sophía, and the Latin pausa, in the same tradition of English that mashes Greek and Latin words together, because everything is horrible and nothing makes sense.

Talking to Dr. Roberts about world politics, race, evolutionary psychology, Bitcoin, or social sciences, while he's drunk? That's a bad move, because you'll cross his sophopause at Mach 3. The man is a brilliant statistician, but hoo boy does he believe in the weirdest conspiracy theories.
