eighty-five percenter

An individual who always ( or almost always ) eats only eighty-five percent of what most people would eat in each meal, in order to enjoy an easier and better digestion, not feel stuffed and continue feeling somewhat light, enjoy a perfect ( thus easy ) bowel movement the next day, and stay healthy, happy, and young.

30-years ago, Bonnie told me about remembering to only eat eighty-five percent of each meal. Now I do that about ninety-seven percent of the time. That makes me an eighty-five percenter.

For those who prefer not to start a sentence with a number,

error-impossibilitator

A mechanism which structurally, physically, or electronically blocks human beings from committing an error.

Walls, locks, and barbed-wire are examples of a structural error-impossibilitator. And the way Web pages are programmed to not allow a user to proceed to the next step until the user types their password, for example, is an example of an electronic error-impossibilitator. Condoms and other pregnancy-prevention devices are also error-impossibilitators. However, some error-impossibilitators are not fool-proof. Parents, teachers, mentors, coaches, personal trainers, security guards or bouncers are not error-impossibilitators because—unless they stand in someone's way—they can only help others prevent errors. Error-impossibilitators are of two types, those that can be circumvented, such as by cutting a barbed wire, and those which cannot be circumvented, such as the wall President Trump offered to build on the U.S.-Mexico border. Note that very few error-impossibilitators are 100% reliable because if someone wants to, they can, for example, dig a tunnel under a wall, as people have done to get to the other side.

rewording

Rewording and/or not mentioning a word, a person's name, a situation or an event can control or revise reality or the past.

Rewording the phrase, "I want to fuck you" to "I want to make love to you" or "I want to engage in sexual intercourse with you" and expressing the rewritten one produces different expectations and ways of feeling, thinking, and acting.

European-Americans

The counterpart to the term African-Americans. Members of the Anglo-Saxon race who were either born in or live in the United States of America.

Do any Black Americans realize that referring to them as "African-Americans" insinuates that even if they were born in the United States of America they continue to be foreigners? What would happen if mainstream media started referring to White Americans as "European-Americans," as in, "Though in the United States of America the quantity of Latinos (16.3%) now surpasses the number of African-Americans (12.6%), European-Americans comprise 72.4% and Asians comprise 4.8% of the population (2010 Census). Notice that Latinos and Asians have not been inflicted with or infected by a hyphen.

manipulee

An individual who is manipulated.

Customer Service manager Manuel "Trickster" Camingitty was able to manipulate Nancy Assdid to do exactly as he had so painstakingly planned to ensure she would do what she had told him she had made up her mind long ago to never do, especially at work. For months, he continued manipulating and in other ways abusing his new employee who in his self-talks he referred to as his "favorite female manipulee", and who his best friend, an Italian-American singer, jokingly called his "manipulah."

Spaceless Writing

Writing each word starting with a capital letter, not leaving a space between words, and capitalizing the article "a" and starting the following word with a lower-case letter.

The sentence Spot Tricks wrote and which moved him to propose "Spaceless Writing" to UrbanDictionary.com's editors was: "SpacesBetweenWords—AndWordsAndPunctuationMarks—AreUnnecessary." In spaceless writing (SW), the article "a" is capitalized and all the letters of the word following it are written in lower-case. Spaceless Writing saves space, time, energy, and money. It's the best writing style to use on "Twitter".

100% attraction

The way a person feels when they see and/or hear and/or touch someone who they realize they feel 100% attracted to.

Though I even felt sexually attracted to a woman I met at work last Friday, it was not a 100% attraction. That type makes one feel as if a magnet is pulling you.
