Interbecome is a verb that expresses the vast, interrelated dynamism of coming to be, or mutual becoming, which characterizes reality as it is. Everything has a definite (though always new), emerging, evolving, and changing relationship with every other thing in the entire cosmos. This is a technical term that describes the interdependent co-arising of all phenomena, or in the words of the Buddha, 'When this exists, that comes to be, with the arising of this, that arises. When this does not exist, that does not come to be, with the cessation of this, that ceases.'
There is no such thing as anything that is disconnected from everything else, and there is no such thing in the universe (including the universe!) that is the same in two consecutive moments. If being (or interbeing) means anything, it means that we mutually become, we interbecome (inter-become). (NOTE: Interbecome is a replacement word for Thich Nhat Hanh's interbe because the latter, containing the root word 'to be.' implies too static an understanding of reality.)

Turkpocalypse is another word for the United States civic holiday, Thanksgiving.
Turkpocalypse refers particularly to the large-scale killing of turkeys in preparation for the Thanksgiving celebration, since turkey is the most common main dish served at the central meal to which the celebration is largely dedicated each November.

In a silly display of tradition, every year the President of the United States 'pardons' at least one turkey, saving it from its otherwise certain doom with the annual arrival of Turkpocalypse.
One side-effect of Turkpocalypse is a nationwide tryptophan-induced, after-dinner nap while watching the game on TV.

When elected office is up for bid, up for being bought by the highest bidder, an elauction is under way.
Elauction indicates the primary role of money (and the principal bearers of money known as billionaires) in supposedly democratic elections.
The term, elauction, represents how the oligarchy, known these days as billionaires (or Billionaire Overlords) is able to buy elections.

When $100 million is spent to prop up a Governor who has been subjected to a recall, while a paltry $4 million is spent by the challenger, we are certainly witnessing an elauction.
When each candidate is a mere face, a mere facade for billionaire backers, an elauction is under way.
Who will win the elauction? The highest bidder, or the highest so-called 'contributor' will of course buy the elauction.

The celebration of the late harvest in October.
NB: The word is an etymological hybrid of "October" and "harvest" with an ear to the celebratory spirit of "Octoberfest" (Oktoberfest).
