Adult youthism

When an adult's interests, behaviours and manner of expression (i.e. personal traits) are not so much different compared to their adolescence.

Adult youthism should not be confused with simply acting immature or childish. Rather, it is mostly referring to the positive and idiosyncratic aspects of adolescence. It is denoting the ways in which adults challenge (largely unwittingly) typical stereotypes associated with being an adult. For example, a middle-aged adult who still likes to build and collect LEGO sets or is still a fan of kids shows (e.g. spongebob) can be described as adult youthism. Personality-wise, adult youthism can be attributed to an adult who likes to acts silly in naïves way or is always playful and cheerful.

Adult youthism is something people often lack of. Sometimes the reality and burdens of adult life can make you forget the joy and freedom of being a kid, and the appreciation of the simple things in life.
My friend: So how are things with Claire going?

Me: Oh it's going great. There's something about her that I find very intriguing. She's soooo innocent, and I mean that in a wholesome way! She's never negative about things, only positive. And she's a very open-minded person as well. She also apparently confessed that she still watches Spongebob which is awesome because I low-key still like that show too. Generally she's just such a joyful and wholesome person to be around, she's like the epitome of Adult youthism.

Sigma variant

iPhone 12

If the iPhone 5S (2013) and the iPhone 11 (2019) had a baby, their baby would be the iPhone 12. There is nothing amazing nor abominable to say about the 12. The usual caveats are present (e.g. higher price), but the sharp and squared-off sides is quite a nice refreshing design choice in my opinion.

Oh, and this is the first iPhone to feature magsafe charging which, more importantly, means that your iPhone is magnetic and you can stick it onto any magnetic surface. Why? Because magnets, man!
Can your iPhone do this? *takes X-ray photo with the OnePlus 8 Pro*
No, but it can do this *sticks iPhone 12 onto a giant magnet*
Oh shit, that is kinda cool tbh.

bias

A bias is an unjustified and disproportionate preference (or hate) towards someone or something. Biases are reason why evil ideologies like racism, sexism, and extremism exist. It's also the number one source for all fights and arguments, both on the internet and IRL. The antithesis of bias is justice and equity. Being biased should be a sin.
K-pop fans who have a bias for an idol group should be cancelled.

Schnitzel

A word you say to convey that you are in a predicament. Basically the same thing as "in a pickle", but instead of pickle you say schnitzel.
