New Words 30

Came across some more "new" words & phrases.

This is set #30 of these that I've posted here on MattChat.

FRIENDLY DISCLAIMER:

As with previous posts, these are not necessarily "brand new"...... just new to me:  words that I've come across recently which I do not recall hearing before.

(I sure hope that one of the words below wasn't included on an earlier "New Words" post...... 'cause that forgetfulness would make me look just a tad bit OLD)

(see the little black specks?  those are p-chips)

edible microchip: AKA "p-chip";  small, grain-sized chip -- dissolvable in stomach acid -- that can be used for a variety of purposes, including food authentication, medication tracking, and within medical devices

11 new ones for me:  how about for you?  Learn any new ones?

And, if you've recently heard a "new word" that I should include in a future MattChat post, please post it in the comments below.  THANKS

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
