Happy Monday! I was reading the New York Times this morning and I came across this article "A Dictionary of the Near Future" by Douglas Coupland. He created some terms that he feels "encapsulate" our present moment. I choose a few of the most interesting to share...
Dimanchophobia- Fear of Sundays, a condition that reflects fear of unstructured time. ( I totally have this :D)
Karaokeal Amnesia- Most people don't know the complete lyrics to almost any song, particularly the ones they hold most near.
Limited Pool Romantic Theory- The belief that there is a finite number of time in which one can fall in love, most commonly six.
Malfactory Aversion- The ability to figure out what it is in life you don't do well, and then stop doing it.
Zoosomnial Blurring- The notion that animals probably don't see much difference between dreaming and being awake...hmmm.
