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.

obeast

An individual who is so fat he or she looks like a beast.
When Yung Ho came from Asia to New York she saw that compared to Asians most New Yorkers were fat, but when she visited Texas she saw that a lot of Texans were obese and some were what her boyfriend called "obeast" (so fat they look like a beast).

"At least they're very happy eating more than their fair share of food—every day!" her Mother said. "Do the math," her cousin said, "if—for example—a woman whose optimum weight is 100- pounds and she's 50-pounds overweight, every day she's gotta eat the amount of food which one-and-a-half people of her optimum weight eat. Do food sellers like fat people? They love them.

humanly perfect

The maximum level of perfection human beings are able to attain in situations which they must react spontaneously.
Though using science, art, talent, and the countless mechanical and technological marvels human beings have invented allow them to easily produce products which are often up to 100% perfect, human beings sometimes make a wrong decision, commit an error, or make a mistake, and those things limit human perfection to being "humanly perfect," inherently inconsistent, and not 100% reliable . Thus a few notches below mathematical, scientific, mechanical, or technological perfection.

To reduce or prevent the imperfect actions humans inevitably commit—often at unpredictable times, humans use various procedures, mechanisms, and technological devices to impossibilitate, prevent, or minimize errors.

The second most effective way is to stop a human being from committing an error is by passing a law and sanctioning those who break them. And the most effective way is by physically or electronically blocking a human being from executing a specific action at a specific time or in a specific way.
