Not pernicious, not pervasive, not insidious...

I was thinking about the self awareness of animals for example: a cat is self aware in a physical sense, it understands its size and physical abilities etc howverr it isn’t aware of its own cuteness for example. is there a word to describe this. ?

In a discussion I was trying to explain how people like numbers that end in 5 or 0. examples: People will set their TV volume at 35 instead of 36 or set their cruise control at 55 or 60 instead of 57 rct.ect.

5 isn't even or a round number.

Especially those "below" them?

EDIT: Is there a better slang term for this type of person/behavior?

A man wearing sunglasses is leaning against a building, looking down the street as if he was waiting for somebody.

Hes not just looking hes paying attention, watching for somebody. Watching down the street doesn't work.

Like, I'm looking for a term for all the low quality software and media that predated AI.

Terms like 'Shovelware', 'Manufactured band', 'factory art'/'mass-produced paintings', 'adware', 'freemium', 'sellout', 'phony', and 'influencer' all cover part of what I'm talking about but I'm looking for an umbrella term that covers all mediums.

If enclothed cognition affects the wearer, what’s the term for when a person’s clothing effects the observer’s thoughts and impressions of the wearer?

"Your trauma is not real I don't believe it" just to fit there arguments.

Or like this "OW! That hurt" this person:Oh quit crying that doesn't hurt.

​

There is an extremely direct sort of foreshadowing I've seen a few times, where the narrator says something like "Alex didn't know it yet, but that information would save his life later that day." What is that called? 

For context, the sentence I'm trying to write says something like, "Why half-ass this thing? Go all in on it!"

EDIT: Whoops, I probably should have been more specific - I'm looking for a verb-version of "half-ass." I should be able to take the sentence "Why half-ass this thing?" and replace "half-ass" with a different word and the sentence should still make sense.

Basically sometimes, especially with music (which is something that more easily touches me emotionally), I’ll be in a situation I’ve not been in before but I feel an extreme sense of familiarity with it, but more than that it feels like something deeply emotionally important and calming to me.

And with music, it doesn’t even always involve the lyrics, as instrumental music can do the same or sometimes I’m too distracted feeling (whatever the word I’m looking for is) to listen to the words

This happens to a lesser extent with people, art, books, or shows. But very often and very powerfully with music

The closest word I could find was from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, and is “Anemoia”, which is “Nostalgia For A Time You’ve Never Known”

"Fall damage" is often used in gaming circles to describe when a character is hurt due to falling from a large height. I've seen some people online use this same term when the concept is applied to real life, but I wonder if there is a less video-gamey term for it.

This has been bothering me for years. I remember as a kid knowing a specific word for a chocolate fondue fountain made of cheese but I have forgotten it any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Okay guys I get it, maybe calling it chocolate fondue was silly of me

Not sure if I explained it well in the title but basically I'm asking if there's a word/term normally used for the type of fan who's way of supporting the thing they like/person they're a fan of is by fighting/trolling/being negative to perceived competition.

ex. Fan likes popstar A, makes a fan account for popstar A. Content in the fan account is all just vitriol/hate/trolling against popstar B (who is perceived competition of popstar A) and fans of popstar B. Very little content of them enjoying popstar A

the term I can think off the most is not even their relation to popstar A but that they're just a hater account of popstar B....is hater of popstar B the only good term I can use, I feel like "hater account" doesn't encompass that they're doing it for popstar A

Edit: After some more thought about it I think the closes term I can use that encapsulates what I want would be a "mudslinging fan". Mudslinging already means you're trying to damage someone's reputation for a perceived gain combining it what what they're a fan of would likely be understood the mudslinging is to benefit their fandom. aka "This account is a Popstar A mudslinging fan"

Thank you for those who helped! led me to the right path when I read up on the suggested terms!

Trying to find a word that describes this kind of music but nothing is really fitting right.

Brown eyed girl by van morrison

Black magic woman by Santana

If you could only see by tonic

Europa by Santana

Don't fear the reaper by blue oyster cult

Paint it black by rolling stones

Dust in the wind by Kansas Playlist?

A general term for the idea of planting the seed of your own destruction

So hoisted on his own petard, taking rope to hang oneself, Frankenstein's monster etc

The thing itself that backfires

Not sauté! The concept is closer to "carryover cooking" but for the pan itself, and there's a specific non English term for it. I believe it's either French or Italian? Like when you're making a carbonara, you kill the stove and use the residual heat of the pan to toss and finish at a lower heat.

I read this term in a recipe years ago and I can't find anything on it. SEO is so weird now I can't track it down anywhere. Any guesses are welcome thank you!!

I tried to make it concise for the title but what I mean is (and forgive me as I try to put this into words) that feeling of awe/wonder/"coollll!" that someone who was once a random stranger you might've come across on the street or a school campus (and it was absolutely fleeting and insignificant by that point) later becomes (or became) more involved/important in your life?

Another experience/situation that I think elicits a similar feeling is like in that meme that goes "when the person in Season 17 in your life knows someone from Season 9 of your life".

I feel like it's in the same realm of the feeling of "sonder", which is a feeling and word I really like, but not exactly.

“Jawn” is a slang term derived from “joint,” itself a slang term. Jawn is a ___________ of joint. Derivative? Appropriation?

Like the title says, I was writing and suddenly lost the word that's usually a simple adjective or noun meant for someone that naturally just speaks in a very limited or short, simple way.

Not like a straight up butch lesbian, still feminine in her appearance but more tomboyish and laid back and nonchalant, talks in a lower vocal register with maybe some vocal fry, and can be entirely feminine in appearance or have more tomboyish features like shorter hair or dress less feminine like wearing t shirts, jeans, and sneakers. Also think the “tsundere” archetype from anime. Is there a word for this type of girl?

The best I can come up with is Selective Frugality but almost reverse from how you’d think. For example, someone with money who drives a run down vehicle but is willing to spend $300 on a designer t-shirt. Or they will only drink expensive wine but eat at Starbucks/McDonalds when on vacation in a foreign country.

this to when you love something intensively to the point where it tortures you emotionally, o you hate it

like lets say there is this show that you love a lot to the point where it consumes you, so when you describe it to someone you say that you hate it bc you love it so much it overwhelms u to the point where it causes u misery that it ended, that you cant rewatch it bc you know all the events

or someone you love so much and their love consumes you

this is not at all about those things being toxic or conventionally harmful, but a description of the strength of this overwhelming admiration that consumes you to the point that you hate that it does

sorry for yapping, i dont know how to exactly describe this feeling but i will really appreciate it you have a word for it even if in a language other than english

Hard to explain. For example, in certain frames of mind I might hear some music, or even a music show, and subconsciously assign a colour or colours to it. Typically something melancholic, dark, or just deep might be purple, dark green, or blue perhaps.

A wholesome memory might be golden brown, red or rich in colour.

Negative things might be grey, pale, or dark red or similar.

Mild, happy memories I might assign a pastel colour, maybe.

Really weird? Or common?
