Came across some more "new" words & phrases.
This is set #32 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)
beige mom: a mother who decorates her house in tones of beige, dresses her kids in natural fibers and colors, and only buys toys in shades of beige (think wood, yarn, etc.)
captagon (AKA fenethylline): a synthetic amphetamine-type addictive stimulant that has been clandestinely produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the consumer markets on the Arabian Peninsula
mahram: from Islamic teachings, someone with whom marriage is not permissible due to close blood relations, breastfeeding, or marital ties
dry promotion (AKA quiet promotion): occurs when an employee is given a new job title and additional responsibilities but without a pay raise
annus horribilis: a disastrous or unfortunate year
rose grading: system that categorizes bare-root roses based on their size, growth quality, and potential for future productivity
zettabyte: unit of measurement used by technology professionals; equal to 1 billion terabytes or 1 trillion gigabytes
psilocybin: hallucinogenic substance obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States
neurodiversity: umbrella term that describes the range of ways people's brains process information and interact with the world
There they are. Can't say you didn't get anything free today.

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
