Douglas Coupland er en bra forfatter og i denne artikkelen i nytimes, så lister han opp en del nye uttrykk han mener bør brukes for å beskrive livet i vår tid.
Eksempler:
DIMANCHOPHOBIA Fear of Sundays, a condition that reflects fear of unstructured time. Also known as acalendrical anxiety. Not to be confused with didominicaphobia or kyriakephobia, fear of the Lord’s Day.
INSTANT REINCARNATION The fact that most adults, no matter how great their life is, wish for radical change in their life. The urge to reincarnate while still alive is near universal.
OMNISCIENCE FATIGUE The burnout that comes with being able to know the answer to almost anything online.
MALFACTORY AVERSION The ability to figure out what it is in life you don’t do well, and then to stop doing it.
