Caesar Salad Syndrome

Caesar Salad Syndrome (CSS) is a minimally pernicious set of symptoms, usually presenting as a very involved and helpful person. Often associated with the phrase, "It takes a village", persons with CSS feel concerned with and achieve satisfaction from helping others. Effected persons often have an idiosyncratic craving for Caesar Salad.
If I could shake this Caesar Salad Syndrome, I could take care of my own needs. I have bills to pay!

dogitude

A dogitude is a thought that a man's best friend has, the kind of thinking that results from being a well loved and pampered pet. One can imagine these cliche-like thoughts appearing in thought bubbles hovering above the pooches head.

"Dogitudes" for plural.
Fido thought, "I love this man...when we go for walks together, he stops while I pee and sniff." Or, "Happiness is a bowl of the steak my master is eating." Those are a dogitudes.

Phonographic Memory

A person blessed with a Phonographic Memory has the ability to instantly recall and name the origin of sounds, chords, bass lines, drum fills, and guitar licks from the records he/she/they heard in their youth. Everybody recognizes the opening licks of "Satisfaction", but a person with Phonographic Memory "...can name that song in one note."

It is not the hearing of a train whistle and being reminded of the long summer evenings in Iowa. It is not recognizing a song being played faintly in the background of a Budweiser commercial. It is directly related to the graphic recording ( the LP or 45 rpm record, quite likely ) of those particular notes, and a instantaneous and pinpoint recognition of the song. Phonographic Memory (PM) is like muscle memory, as it is developed by repetition.
We gotta get Carlos on our team for this Trivia competition. The dude knows every song ever recorded! All he needs to hear is one note, and he can name it. He has Phonographic Memory!

Essentially a modern form of reading over another person's shoulder, incogreado is an invisible, anonymous, and passive form of participation.
" I am in on the text thread, but I don't want to chime in, because I am incogreado."

Carpe Hear'em

Ever had tickets to see a band and ended up not going? Ever wish you would have / could have witnessed the greatness of an emerging talent?

Carpe Hear'em is the marching order to get up off your ass and get out there to hear the great live music all around us. Make a sweet musical memory.
"Dude, they start in 45 minutes...let's go! Carpe Hear'em!"
