supernomaly

A word which begins as a name for a specific member of a general class of items, but which ends up signifying the entire class.

Because Xerox was the first manufacturer of photocopy machines, many people now use "Xerox" as a synonym for photocopier, thus rendering "xerox" a supernomaly.

Supernormalism

The study of or belief in capacities, experiences, or phenomena that exceed normal human functioning but may not be supernatural—enhanced perception, exceptional intuition, mystical experiences, heightened states of consciousness. Supernormalism suggests that human potential may be greater than average performance suggests, and that some people occasionally access capacities that are latent in all of us. It's the position that the "normal" is not the limit, that extraordinary experiences may reveal possibilities rather than pathologies, and that human nature includes potentials rarely actualized.

"She knew who was calling before looking at the phone, every time. Supernormalism says: not psychic, not supernatural—just a capacity some people have, maybe latent in all of us, maybe trainable. Supernormal, not paranormal. Beyond average, not beyond nature."
