• mmorupisi commented on the word bandwidth

  In technology, bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network connection within a given period of time, usually measured in bits per second (bps), such as Mbps (megabits per second) or Gbps (gigabits per second).

  Bandwidth is important because it determines how much information can be sent and received across a network. Higher bandwidth allows faster data transfer, smoother video streaming, quicker downloads, and better performance when multiple users or devices access the network simultaneously. However, bandwidth alone does not determine network speed, as factors such as latency, network congestion, and hardware performance also affect overall communication efficiency.

  Example: A school with high internet bandwidth can support online learning platforms, video conferencing, and digital resource access for many students at the same time without significant delays.

• simplyetchedsite commented on the word halcyon

  I had only ever heard this in the phrase halcyon days, so learning about the kingfisher story behind it was a lovely surprise. The idea of a bird calming the sea while it nests fits the peaceful feeling of the word so well. Now I understand why people reach for it when they remember a calm, happy time.

• blenser4 commented on the word ephemeral

  I like how this word manages to sound gentle even though it means something short lived. The mayfly example really sticks with me, since a whole life can fit into a single day. It is a good reminder to notice small moments while they last.

• simplyetchedsite commented on the word wanderlust

  What I enjoy about wanderlust is that it is not just about travel, it is about curiosity. The German roots make sense too, because the word feels like a wish to keep moving and see what is next. Even a short walk in a new place can wake that feeling up.

• blenser4 commented on the word luminous

  I like how luminous works on two levels, first as a physical glow and then as a clear mind. A luminous idea feels bright in the same way a lit room does, easy to see and hard to miss. It is a good word for writing when something suddenly becomes clear.

• sirnoname commented on the word kaizen

  The character 改 (kai, change, reform) in kaizen (改善) is shared with kaikaku (改革, radical reform or transformation). Kaizen is the small-step half of the pair; kaikaku is the step-change half. See also kaipability, which takes the same character for the ability to keep changing what an organisation can make or do.

  October 29, 2026

• sirnoname commented on the word kaipability

  kaipability /ˌkaɪpəˈbɪlɪti/ (noun) — the capability to change capability: the qualified ability to acquire, absorb, adapt and reshape what a system can do, while it is still running. More broadly, the ability of an organisation to change what it can make or do, repeatedly, without losing what it already does reliably.

  Etymology: 改 (kai, change, reform, correction), the shared character of kaizen (改善, continuous improvement) and kaikaku (改革, transformation), + capability. Pronounced as capability, with kai (as in sky) in place of ca.

  “The factory had the equipment but lacked the kaipability to bring a new product to market without disrupting existing lines.”

• tankhughes commented on the word zill

  https://www.adcouncil.org/our-causes/teen-mental-health

  Some kind of teen mental health campaign??

  "That's what zilling is all about. Zill means taking action to show love to your mind on good, bad or whatever days. It can look different for everyone."

  "Zill (verb): Any action to show love to your mind on good, bad or whatever days."
  

  "Zill is a word to help us name the everyday ways we show love to our minds. It’s a simple reminder that our mental health is something we can impact through our own choices, habits and actions — big and small, on good days and on hard ones.

  Zill was developed in close collaboration with teens and mental health experts, who highlighted a clear gap: teens hear a lot about mental health, but the conversation often centers on struggles and crisis. What’s missing is how caring for our minds shows up in daily life — the consistent, supportive actions that help us feel steady, connected and well.

  Caring for our minds can look different for everyone. Spending time with friends, playing sports, making art, getting outside, taking a moment to breathe — these habits matter, and zill gives us the language to recognize and build the everyday practices that support our mental well‑being.

  Zill began as part of the Ad Council’s “Love, Your Mind” initiative, a broader effort to shift culture around mental health. It’s supported by the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation."

• hjc4922 commented on the word learnweave

  learnweave (noun) — proposed coinage

  Definition: A reciprocal exchange in which teaching and learning happen together, with each person’s contribution changing and deepening everyone’s understanding—including their own.

  Example: “I thought I was teaching her how to garden, but her questions changed how I understood the soil. It turned into a learnweave.”

  Formation and Ra references: A compound of “learn” and “weave,” inspired by Ra’s treatment of teaching and learning as interconnected expressions of shared being in The Law of One, session 1.10. Session 15.13 further describes learning from others while teaching them.

  https://www.lawofone.info/s/1#10

  https://www.lawofone.info/s/15#13

  Gematria connection: Using English ordinal values (A=1 through Z=26), LEARNWEAVE = 12+5+1+18+14+23+5+1+22+5 = 106, and INFINITY = 9+14+6+9+14+9+20+25 = 106. This numerical match offers a symbolic connection to learning as an open-ended process. It does not establish identical meanings or an intentional code in Ra’s words. This is a modern English letter-number interpretation, distinct from traditional Hebrew gematria.

  Status: Proposed modern vocabulary inspired by the Ra material. The word is not attributed to Ra, and this comment does not claim established dictionary status.

  October 16, 2026

• hjc4922 commented on the word honorduty

  honorduty (noun) — proposed coinage

  Definition: A freely accepted responsibility experienced as an honor, where the privilege of being trusted and the obligation to respond with care are inseparable.

  Example: “When my friend trusted me with something deeply personal, keeping that confidence became a honorduty.”

  Formation and Ra references: A compound of “honor” and “duty,” inspired by Ra’s use of “honor/duty” in The Law of One, session 4.20, and the statement in session 16.42: “Each responsibility is an honor; each honor, a responsibility.”

  https://www.lawofone.info/s/4#20

  https://www.lawofone.info/s/16#42

  Gematria connection: Using English ordinal values (A=1 through Z=26), HONOR = 8+15+14+15+18 = 70 and DUTY = 4+21+20+25 = 70. HONORDUTY = 140. Their equal values offer a symbolic reminder of the equal importance of privilege and responsibility. This is a modern English letter-number interpretation, not traditional Hebrew gematria or evidence of an intentional code in Ra’s words.

  Status: Proposed modern vocabulary inspired by the Ra material. The joined word is not attributed to Ra, and this comment does not claim established dictionary status.

• tbc commented on the word stockcropper

  stockcropper (noun, informal, humorous): a company director or executive whose pay depends largely on company performance (stock, options, bonuses) rather than a fixed salary.

  Etymology: nonce blend of stock (shares in a company) and sharecropper (a tenant farmer who pays the landowner with a share of the harvest). The joke inverts the sharecropper's position: the stockcropper's income also rises and falls with the crop, here the share price. Coined in October 2026 as a playful alternative to wage slave for someone whose pay is performance-linked. I found no earlier use, though that is a limited search and not proof of absence. Coined in conversation with Claude Opus 5.5, an AI assistant and my talking library.

  Compare: golden handcuffs, wage slave.
