Musical Articulation

The process of composing a melody to express a specific thought or emotion.
Sometimes, the composer has verbally articulated or also written the thought he or she articulates musically by composing a melody. Sometimes, the composer just feels an emotion which he or she is or is unable to articulate verbally, but composes a riff to express it, that is 'musical articulation.'

truth and reality war

The inherently unresolvable conflict between the things individuals believe.
Because each individual comes to believe the things he or she believes as a result of his or her experiences, different individuals will always have certain beliefs which are different or even opposite the beliefs others have, and at different times will in some way need to fight in what is the "truth and reality war."

Beliefs are thoughts linked to an emotion.

"Live and let live."

cigaretticide

The unintended murder of nonsmokers by the cigarette smoke smoker's cigarettes release in to the air is called "cigaretticide."
In a LIARS COURT comedy titled "Cigaretticide," the unintended murder of nonsmokers by the cigarette smoke smoker's cigarettes release in to the air is called "cigaretticide'. Regardless of what percentage of smokers know that the smoke from the cigarette they smoke goes into the lungs of every person who happens to be around them, the big news is that very few smokers know that the smoke which flows out from the cigarettes they smoke is killing some of the people who happen to be around them.

impossibleize

President Roosevelt declared war on the Japanese Empire to impossibleize—as improbable as it seemed to most observers—it's growing stronger, invading, conquering, and occupying the United States of America. Remember, "a stitch in time saves mine, meaning my ass," said a young taxpayer, and "it's better to be safe than sorry" said a taxcollector to a tax-evader who worked as a stocks and bond trader.

Imagined Echo

The echo of a sound which did not produce an echo, but which the brain hears after the sound was made because it replays a sound the individual just heard in order to facilitate comprehension and interpretation. Imagined echoes are the auditory equivalent of the images the eyes continue to see though the still image they saw is no longer visible. That scientifically proven phenomenon is called the "persistence of vision," and makes it possible for the 30 still images motion picture projectors display one after the other to create the optical illusion the brain interprets as continuous movement.
Dick Shakey was creating a song on his computers piano keyboard when he heard a jet airplane fly by. One second later, his brain replayed the sound of the jet engine for Richard to could hear it again and know what had just happened because when he heard the jet engine's sound the first time—immersed listening to the piano notes—he did hear the jet engine's distant roar, but because human listening is sometimes selective, ignored it. However, hearing the imagined echo blew his concentration, so he stood up, took a break, and submitted this new term to a new word website.
