I’m looking for a formal and interesting word. Not FOMO, for example.

I am making a song and someone said that a specific song would be good for listening while being stuck in deep thought, which I sort of agree with. I said that the song itself is filled with emotion but yet none, I dunno how to explain it better than that. Is there a word for this?

Some ones I had in mind:

• Omniscience (this seems close but almost missing the point)
• Nebulous (This is for undefined)
• Present (this is WAYYY more abstract that it's true meaning. How I am using it is in the sense you presently may feel a multitude of feelings at the same time, again VERRY abstract)

edit: Used wrong word

I've been promoted to an ERP Administrator position. We have 20+ company goals, projects and initiatives this year, and I need to set clear boundaries at the beginning.

This is a brand new role, and I need to make sure we all know what's expected of me, the department heads, and other internal resources. I put together an "SLA" but that title seems too cold and formal.

Is there a better phrase/title for a document that outlines expectations between departments?

The word I'm thinking of has a similar meaning to trope, cliche, quirk, motif, hook, premise, and schtick. It's when a story has a particular element that is it's selling point or point of intrigue. Like this show I was watching is a detective show that has a murder happen on the border. So the whole [word I'm looking for] is that you have the two agencies that have to work together. It may be more colloquial than formal. But it's used in describing writing and story elements. The closest I can think of is gimmick, but with a less mischievous or negative connotation.

Is there a word for something that you want to buy after a period of saving up for it ? Usually a dream luxury purchase ? Like a expensive motor bike, car, etc. Like an item of bucket list but only thing that's preventing you from achieving it is money ?

You see this especially when driving on a rainy night, the lights get lines of light from the top and bottom

What is a nonsexual synonym for sucking someone off. Not litterally. For example: "I know I'm just sucking myself off but I feel sagely as shit right now" or "I know you love sucking off Elon Musk but come the fuck on." I tried to look it up, but exactly what you would expect to come up came up instead. No matter how many specifying terms I added. I can't say the phrase "sucking myself off" to my mother. I hevily struggle with lethologica. (this post is urgent)

It's not "strawman".

This is a legal term that is used. I watch legal stuff in the background on YouTube and I can't remember the phrase Judges put in their responses and analysis of "one the other hand" kind of argument. I hear it ever so often because I don't follow this stuff closely enough to know the law like that.

Like let's say Roberts (supreme court) has released some decision and then there's sometimes a part where he acknowledges the counter position or scenario the supreme court has disagreed with but will take it to its conclusion to "show"/"prove out" its incorrectness. To explain why they have decided not to with that position.

They always start that part with a specific phrase.

I think its 2 words and it could be Latin...maybe?

I googled it and I'm not pulling anything but IRAC which is not what I'm looking for.

A word used when media does something like, for example, make the medieval period look cool or beautiful when it was actually pretty horrible, like viewing it through rose-tinted glasses. Or making something bad / dangerous like hard drugs or gambling seem cool / glamorous / attractive, masking how it really is. Like you'd critize a movie by saying 'i think this movie was bad because it _____ed [bad period of history] by making it seem fun'

I’m looking for something to fill a sentence like “I haven’t challenged you enough at your job and you’ve become ____”

Could be several words I guess.

It's something like 'get rid of' 'need to get rid of asap' but it's said in a nicer or shorter way? Usually applies to selling clothes.

Context; I bumped my elbow on the rim of my classroom's chalkboard (on accident) with the intent of trying to find the outlet nearby (on purpose).

^

it's slang often used for "activating"

like you're trying to stay sober but your friends coerced you into taking things you dont want to

e.g.

bro im sorry for "igniting" you the other night.

or smth AHAAHAAAHa i hear it a lot in my circles but shy to bring it up cos im straight edge af.

like being a catalyst to make you do that substance.

UPDATE: the word was "enabling" ;))

NOUN The attitude or the behavior, that employs positivity as a silver lining against darker things. Could be done glibly, but not always.
The only term I can find in my head is "Cope" in the GenZ sense. Loan words with no english equivalent are also welcome. Extra flavor if possible: This behavior/attitude deflects or dismisses the darker thing, instead of processing it. And can have an ironic/sardonic tone to it.

Example: "Well, the tree fell on my fence. But that means it can't fall on my car anymore!"

Example: "I really hated the way this cake was turning out, so I'm sort of glad you knocked it over."

Example: "I've got cancer, but at least I won't be drafted."

EDIT: More info: Like "Cold Comfort", but from the perspective of the optimist.
It might just be silver lining. I had hoped for something less trite, but whadreya gonna do

I remember hearing a long time ago that there’s a word for this but I can’t remember what it is. I think it ends in “-ambulation”.

It’s usually not explic

I remember begging my mum for one when I was 10. I think it begins the c and is something along the lines of crop top? It will be a word used it the UK in the early-mid 2010s.

In dystopian literature for example I always love reading about the little colonies people create and how they function. In the movie "Flushed Away" the rats have made a similar sort of makeshift city in the sewers (Lol at this example). I also love playing survival games where we are building little colonies that are unconventional and have inventive technology like the other examples. Is there a word for this sort of makeshift society? Thanks!

i don't know how to post an image but when u go to ur phones camera roll/gallery and press edit on a photo, what would u call the little square with an arrow around it? it makes the photo lay horizontally. im kind of writing a book and cannot think of what this is called. i know it's not "flipped" or "inverted", it's like "turned" but there's a word for it. ive been writing for so long, im so tired it's making me blank lol. any help is very much appreciated, thank you in advance!! ❤️

I'm trying to describe someone who is always searching for the 'perfect thing' but can never find what they're looking for, due to being either too picky or in the wrong place. Is there a word for that?

It’s on the tip of my tongue but it’s mixing with another word. Milkydew or something like that. I will bless whoever finds it 😂

There was a word and it's description in an edit I liked once but I can't remember the word itself. All I remember is that it was defined by "no longer fond/affectionate of something cared about" It might get started with an A also.

Often, when I cook on the stove in a pot or pan, i let the food cook until I start to smell it. Then that’s when I turned the food over or check if the food is ready.

Let's say I'm looking for DVDs of TV shows. If I wanted to buy a collection of TV shows that aired in a show's first year, in American English that would be called "Season 1" and in British English that would be "Series 1". If I want to buy a collection of all the episodes that ever aired, in American English that would be the "Complete Series". What would it be called in British English? (I'm having trouble filtering out individual seasons from complete series on eBay, if you haven't guessed.)

A character who might sass back to another day because they feel like they have been wronged, even when they know it'll end bad for them?

A noun or title to describe someone as incorruptible

It’s a verb and basically describes the process of an entity who was previously at lower position gaining an advantage over current powers.

It’s similar to overthrow, and it’s not flipping or overturning. Honestly, it could be a phrase I can’t really remember, but I feel that it’s one word.

Edit: I finally got it, I’m sorry guys it was a phrase after all. “Tip the scales”

🪟 - like the top board in this emoji?

I thought of a bunch of men standing in a circle hammering the same large nail like one strikes it and as soon as he lifts it the one next to him hammers it, I also think I saw a video of African women doing this with fufu, so they all strike it quickly in succession. What’s this called?

edit: second example is on the second slide, what i was looking for which is sort of related https://www.instagram.com/p/DEVP14BuFSv/?img_index=1&igsh=aDQzZWRwdTN4dGR6

Looking for word or phrase that succintly describes the story arc of a character's damnation followed by redemption. I feel like "redemption arc" itself suggests a previous failure, but it doesn't capture the intensity of the negative depths I'm looking for. Hero's journey is kind of the vibe. TIA
