Identity-giving

Treating someone in certain ways to give them an identity that is better or worse than the one they have.
After people's appearance, the next thing that comes into play when they interact is the identity each person has of themselves. As they interact, people project their identity and in subtle ways, verbally or nonverbally, others accept or reject it, and sometimes they attempt to give the other person the identity they think they should have of themselves, and that identity can be better or worse than the one the person has of themselves. An example of identity-giving is when one day, someone treats someone else as if they were a genius.

Tonality Science

The scientific study of the tones individuals use to express a word.
Carlos was listening to Grand Funk Railroad play "The Loco-Motion" and was amazed by the singer's adroit use of tonality to each time he expressed a word or a few of them in succession convey a message or messages which were quite a little different, complimented, or reinforced the words he sang. He realized tonality was but has not been raised to the level of a science, and coined the term Tonality Science to go in that direction.

stupids

Two or more stupid individuals that are alive, but “stupids” could include the stupid individuals who have passed away.
The quantity of people who often do stupid things, compared to the quantity of people who do not do stupid things, or do them rarely, is growing.

Though probably everyone wishes there were very few or preferably no stupid people, confronted by their presence (which in some ways often emanates their stupidity), and sometimes injured mentally or physically by their stupid actions, we all need to give that group of people a name to help everyone deal with the growing number of what I compassionately call “stupids.”

I wrote, “compassionately,” because God gives each person the amount of intelligence they have.
