(noun, adjective) 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. (NOTE: Interbecoming is a replacement word for Thich Nhat Hanh's interbeing because the latter, containing the root word 'being.' implies too static an understanding of reality.)

When we abandon false notions that we are separate and permanent individuals and come to understand that we are all interrelated with all other beings, we begin to understand the meaning of interbecoming (inter-becoming).
The interbecoming (inter-becoming) of my person is inexorably intertwined with the interbecoming of your person-- and the interbecoming of both of us is only possible because we participate in the vast interbecoming of the entire cosmos..
Interbecoming (inter-becoming) is the ineradicable nature of all that is; all that is has an interbecoming (inter-becoming) nature.

When the Pope abdicates the the Chair (cathedra) of Peter before his natural death, the Emeritus Pope is said to be on permanent Vatication.
Vatication is like the ultimate staycation, since it is a vacation in the Vatican taken on a permanent basis by Emeritus Pope.

n. AssFault is a more elegant and more sophisticated term to replace the relatively more vulgar ButtCrack or its synonym, AssCrack.
etymology: AssFault is a conjoining of two terms: "Ass," which refers to the posterior of a person, and "Fault" which is a geological term indicating a break or a crack.

Dude2: What?

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.
