"Anisotropism is an optical effect where certain minerals appear to change colors as they are rotated while illuminated by cross polarized light. These minerals are often, but not always, opaque and typically have a metallic or sub-metallic luster."
From Wikipedia: "Abhuman is a term used to distinguish a separation from normal human existence. This is different from inhuman, which typically connotes an ethical or moral separation from others."
"Sometimes this is because of films or TV programmes that may feature having silence when bad things happen. This may cause anxiety when a hush occurs in a large group of people. Sedetaphobia effects sleeping habits as the person feels unsafe with not having the reassurance of noise around them."
"In philosophy, eternal oblivion is the permanent cessation of one's consciousness upon death. This concept is often associated with religious skepticism and atheism, and is based in part on the lack of objectiveevidence for an afterlife..." From Wikipedia
The fear of large numbers; the fear of googology. Usually mutually exclusive from ultrafinitism, though not necessarily, provided the sufferer has oudenophobia.
"The "host larva" gets time to pass through parts of or the whole larval period, before it is attacked by the predator. Many Chrysididae, Chalcidoidea and Ichneumonidae belong to this group. The intraspecific size variation is often great in these species."

n. the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it—whether through envy or pity or simple foreignness—which allows it to drift away from the rest of your life story, until the memory itself feels out of place, almost mythical, wandering restlessly in the fog, no longer even looking for a place to land.
n. the moment a conversation becomes real and alive, which occurs when a spark of trust shorts out the delicate circuits you keep insulated under layers of irony, momentarily grounding the static emotional charge you’ve built up through decades of friction with the world.
From dictionary of obscure sorrows. I did NOT write this.
avenoir - n. the desire that memory could flow backward
We take it for granted that life moves forward. But you move as a rower moves, facing backwards: you can see where you’ve been, but not where you’re going. And your boat is steered by a younger version of you. It’s hard not to wonder what life would be like facing the other way…
From the dictionary of obscure sorrows "n. a feature of modern society that suddenly strikes you as absurd and grotesque—from zoos and milk-drinking to organ transplants, life insurance, and fiction—part of the faint background noise of absurdity that reverberates from the moment our ancestors first crawled out of the slime but could not for the life of them remember what they got up to do."
n. a state of exhaustion inspired by an act of senseless violence, which forces you to revise your image of what can happen in this world—mending the fences of your expectations, weeding out invasive truths, cultivating the perennial good that’s buried under the surface—before propping yourself up in the middle of it like an old scarecrow, who’s bursting at the seams but powerless to do anything but stand there and watch.
Looking to send some positive vibes into the universe? Well, you'll want to send out some yonies. This made-up word means the same thing as positive vibes, but it's way cooler to say, don't you think? So, the next time your friend is having a bad day, send some yonies their way.
From Sbiis Saibian himself: "A googolism is a number name. In other words it's a specific name assigned to specific number. In it's most general sense then, even pi and e are googolisms because they are specific names created to provide a name for these specific irrational constants. When Graham's Number was defined, this was not a googolism, but when Gardner dubbed this number Graham's Number he was coining a googolism."
Beaters means an old pair of shoes used for everyday wear, which are in poor condition. Similar to beater as in the car (see also: jalopy), except it’s shoes.
