Cottahouse

This is when you purchase a property that satisfies both your housing needs but is like a cottage in the sense that it is serves both purposes. A residence that allows you to have the luxuries of home but is ‘out of town’ and may be on or near the water in a non-urban environment. Therefore, it serves both purposes in one residence. A hybrid property that combines two interests conveniently into one.

We can’t afford to buy both a cottage and keep the house so we are going to gey a cottahouse out of town.

Carbonwashing

Carbonwashing is similar to Greenwashing. Carbonwashing is the practice of virtue signaling by companies or individuals to proclaim that they are purchasing "carbon credits" or similar type carbon producing offsets as a means to polish their corporate image. While, in the background they may or may not be doing this as it is a very shadowy audit process to actually prove that you are indeed having any impact whatsoever further to whatever metrics you are using to illustrate.

I just came from a conference and they were speaking of "carbon offsets" and "carbon capture" credits for their business. I'm not sure that these companies are actually measuring this properly or even partaking in sames. I think many of them are just Carbonwashing us.

reserved input

The act of knowingly denying knowledge about events in an attempt to extend a great conversation.

When having an enjoyable conversation Mason asked me, “do you know who the first person to walk on the moon was”? I reserved input knowing who it was because both he and I were so enjoying the telling of the story.

GOP jihad

The internal “holy war” that is happening to the US Republican party in the year of our lord 2021. The fracturing of ideals that split the party into at least two separate factions as a war of ideals. As Trump attempts to continue THE BIG LIE about the US election being stolen from him, some buy into this false narrative while others correctly dismiss it out of hand. The ‘war’ may very likely end the legacy of the historic GOP ideals and philosophies.

The rift within the US Republican Party has created such a moral, ethical and philosophical dichotomy that it has evolved into a full on GOP jihad

G.A.F.F.E

GAFFE is an acronym for - Greenwashing Attempt For Fundraising Efforts. There is now a prevalent effort for NGO’s and other nonprofit organizations to raise money based on fears that have little or no scientific evidence to support there causes. However, these organizations will shamelessly propagate misinformation to create fear, sympathy and anger to promote their causes in an effort to raise money for themselves.

Did you see that NGO showing a picture of a turtle with a plastic bag around it’s neck? When confronted, they admitted to the BBC that it was a photoshopped image and the BBC retracted the story when this was found out.. just another example of a G.A.F.F.E. that is being used in media and on-line
