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)."

Expletive Destigmatization

Allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".
The posters inviting people to a conference announced that at the conference everyone would be encouraged to use expletives. At the conference, when the conference's participants began using expletives most people were shocked.

However, using them everyone was able to define and comprehend and analyze the problem better, and propose better solutions than if no one had expressed themselves without using expletives.
After the meeting, the participants laughed and began talking among themselves using expletives such as "shit," "bullshit," "fuck," and its many derivatives.

The most common way expletives are destigmatized is by allowing and encouraging people to in private or public meetings use words which are considered "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

In what events would it be best to allow people to use of expletives, and to achieve what?
The First Amendment is "also" about the right to be despicable, or to be anything.
Expletive Destigmatization means allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

Good for A but bad for B

The expression which debunks saying that something is "fortunate" or "unfortunate", because they do not specify who benefits or looses as a consequence of an event or outcome.
"Fortunate" and "unfortunate" are now debunked and archaic words. They are being replaced by "good for but bad for".

Because saying that a thing is " fortunate " or " unfortunate " does not specify who benefits and who looses. Thus, it's best to, for example, say, " It's good for A but bad for B that ____________________ ( a specific thing happenend ) " .

Love Deactivates Reason

The axiom which states that though need and usually a set of reasons activate and fuel love, to satisfy one or both lover's needs, love, that still unexplained phenomenon which makes the world go round, quickly deactivates reason.
The social scientist realized that love deactivates reason and submitted that new term to help everyone comprehend and track the seemingly mysterious but in reality, quasi-predictable steps love tends to take.

Laughaboutit

The wise, health-and-happiness-increasing philosophy encapsulated into one-word based on the belief that "bad things happen for a good reason," and advises everyone to laugh about things which happen, or about any other thing, instead of worrying and crying about them.
Seeing that society is at times drowning in the network of lies which systematically distort reality and transform many consumers into overconsuming but extremely happy overindulging zambies, Feelex Smart decided to follow aphorism writer Pro Fact's advise and laugh about it, instead of Ken Greenball's advice to react to things by saying, "Fuck it!" Pro Fact considerd condensing the term Laugh About It into one word—laughaboutit, but decided to make that transition in the future.
