power object

Any person, place or thing which allows the individual who uses it or interacts with it to exert power or simply feel more powerful by interacting with it.
Some examples of power objects are famous people, movie stars, celebrities, politicians; computers , the Web; cigarettes; all vehicles; all weapons—from a knife to an atomic bomb; a penis (it helps create a life; a vagina (it can reward and also pussywip; a beautiful face or rear end—because either one or both can reel-in a man; pens—because they record ideas; all electronic devices; all buildings; highways; cookware (they let people feed themselves); beds (they let people rest and recuperate and create babies); jaccuzzies, showers; and... toilets—because they let people get rid of their body's waste products, etc. Garbage cans and "pregnancy prevention" devices (mistakenly called "birth control" devices) are also power objects because the former isolate garbage to be removed by workers, and the latter give users the power to engage in sexual intercourse but prevent a pregnancy.

And though the air and water appear to not be power objects, their correct evaluation reveals that they are extremely powerful because they are indispensable to sustain life. Therefore, fruits and vegetables can also be considered power objects.

Some examples of things which are generally not power objects are the grass; fruitless trees; clouds; the ocean; birds and most other animals, though horses, for example, could be considered power objects because they increase the rider's powers, and strong dogs—such as Dobermann Pinchers—are also power objects because they protect their owners.

Identity Imposition

Imposing a better or worse identity on an individual than his or her present one by treating that individual in certain ways in order to manipulate him, her, or it.
My mother is an identity imposition master. When we're on good terms she treats me as if were a celebrity and a genius, but sometimes if she feels she's losing an argument she might speak to me as if I were a fool.

PROPAGAINDA

A more realistic way of writing the word propaganda because its purpose

is to obtain benefits for the propagandist(s) or propagaindist(s).
Though it seems broadcasters replaced the word "propaganda" with the word "commercial," Edward Bernay's supplanting that hot word with "public relations" is a fact. Of course, "propagainda" is a more realistic way to write it because the purpose is to profit. Hey, maybe "PROFITgainda" is better.

U-HI

There are many different types of "human interactions".

Exemplary (E-HI); pleasant, positive, or pleasurable (P-HI); productive (PROD-HI), professional (PRO-HI), unprofessional (UNPRO-HI), unproductive (UNPROD-HI), counterproductive (CP-HI), unpleasant (U-HI); painful (PA-HI); regrettable (R-HI), horrendous (H-HI), ugly (UG-HI), nice (N-HI), not nice (NN-HI), laughable (L-HI), funny (F-HI), ridiculous (RI-HI), retarded (RE-HI), sexual (S-HI), asexual (AS-HI), etc. The list is endless, and a website may sprout listing all the different types of human interactions and their acronyms or (as I believe it is best to call them) "acronames".

By looking back and analyzing not only an interaction, but also what "really" happened and how each participant behaved and or reacted to other's behaviors, it is possible to comprehend interactions and behaviors better, learn from them, remember them, and give them a name or label—such as EHI. Doing that helps reveal similarities and make it easier to categorize and group them to further increase comprehension and knowledge.

word-drop

Word-Drop

Expressing a nonessential or unnecessary word in an expression to produce an emotional reaction and mental and physical actions. Comparable to name-dropping.
It was sufficient for the hotel's manager to tell the customer that they "will do everything they can to make her stay as enjoyable as possible." However, before saying "as possible" he said "and stress-free," thereby inserting the notion of "stress" into their brains, which made their brains automatically replay memories of the times they had felt "stress." Though the word "free" after the word "stress" always attempts to create the illusion that it eviscerates all "stress", his word-drop made her presence at the hotel less enjoyable than "as possible." Her intuition told her to find a different hotel and she canceled her reservation. Said differently, pissed-off that the stupid clerk reminded her that "stress" exists, she realized she would be better of finding a different hotel to escape more stupidity she foresaw approaching.

Lifestyle Acuity

The degree to which individuals are able to live their life the way they choose to. To work at what they love to do, to be in a relationship with or married to the man or woman they want to be married to, to live where and how they want to live, etc.
After relocating to another state in the nation, working hard to achieve a higher mental and physical state and doing so, Charlie has been able to raise his Lifestyle Acuity far more and faster than he imagined. The only thing he has not found is an acceptable female companion, but he is optimistic and patient.
