Surreal-Fiction

A new genre which contains characters, places, things, activities, events, and relationships which could not exist anywhere, primarily because they do not adhere to mathematics, science, logic, or reason and are simply impossible, but worthy of consideration. Its dialogues and/or monologues can be nonsensical and may contain non-sequiturs.

Inspired by the things and situations Dali and other surrealist painters and artists depicted starting in the 1920s, and hoping to surprise readers and sell many books, the writer began to invent and insert some surreal-fiction characters, places, things, and events into her story.

eating mode

The way a human feels when his or her body is receptive to food.

Individuals are not always in the eating mode, they are not always receptive to food. For example, if something or someone frightens a person, they enter the flight or fight mode and their stomach, brain, and body will not want to eat any food. Interesting, it is that in the flight or fight mode, which most people call the "fight or flight" mode, I think I would be open to drinking, at least water, to be able to fight or run away better. Humans are not airplanes, it may be best to call it the "fight or run away (or flee mode)."

Legally Happy

When an individual feels happy by doing something legal.

Knowing that playing music after 11:00 P.M. would be make him illegally happy, the teenage boy raised the volume of the music he was listening to and was legally happy knowing that from 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. the police, enforcing the laws, allowed anyone to play music below 8 decibels.

corelate

The essence of the verb "correlate".

Was it necessary to add the second "r" to the word "corelate" to make it "correlate"?

Does anyone or anything benefit from that addition?
I am certain the second "r" confuses and is unnecessary.

emowinpoint

The point where emotion overrides reason.

Confronting a recalcitrant student who when I told her she misspelled the word "concision" by writing "consition", I unintentionally took myself to and beyond the EMOWINPOINT, the point when emotion overrides reason. That common human error contributed to my being fired about one hour later from my job as a university instructor.

Conversation Recording and Review

Recording a conversation and reviewing what was said.

Recording a conversation and reviewing what the other party and I said helps me improve how I speak. Recordings can also be used to prove that someone said or did not say something. Conversation Recording and Review is so helpful speech teachers are asking their students to do it.
