A Treasury of New Words and Terms for Burned-Out (Adult) ChildrenTop Story - November 2023
Greetings and Welcome, language lovers. Following the Neolomicro Challenge, I was left with a lot of bizarre definitions that I thought might give some of you a chuckle. These are the offcuts that I ran out of time / inclination to pursue. I hope you enjoy them, and that they can be the start of a glorious new dictionary for these beleaguered times.

I found that feature of the wall comforting. Jared was a creep. He peered out from his leadership nook like a meerkat.

She affected me like atmospheric pressure at first, almost a tickle behind the ears and heart. 14 years since we had met in person. Our odd-hours, online reconnection as much a dissociated dream as a reality; as much a theosophical possibility as a tangible life-path. A concept instead of a thing.
