Fictionary: Should Be a Word
Words. They are such a part of our everyday life we often don't give them their full due. Sometimes we mispel them. Sometimes we missprunciate them. Despite this abuse, they go on serving our various needs as we seek to communicate with the outside world.
English dictionaries can sometimes get over 1,000 new words per year. In 2019 the Merriam-Webster added over 600 in April and another 500+ in September. The Oxford English Dictionary just added these: loop you in, whatevs, cryptocurrency and fake news.
But these don't serve our needs that much, so we have started our own Fictionary, coining words that should exist, but don't. We share some of these today for our linguistic CyberCadets (Should Be a Word). Enjoy the words you never knew you needed, and send us creative additions to our Fictionary.
As you read below, keep in mind that we need a word for: "It's like really kinda, sorta very unique, in a way, you know."
CyberCadet: Another word for those of you visiting TAKA today.
epikarma: As with epigenetics, epikarma describes how we can change the karmas we are born with through lifestyle changes, attitudes and good works. It is possible because of karmaplasticity.
reinkarmation: 1. An intense life in which the soul goes through many profound changes but keeps the same body; 2. lifetimes in which one faces the same-old, same-old karmas because of failure to resolve them when they've come around before.

A short, highly specialized and always unproductive squabble between two or more people who know one another well. It is characterized by reactive and softly accusatory bursts of unprovoked contention between each other, not necessarily related to the subject at hand, but rather provoked by the accumulation of many small unresolved problems over years of personal association.
meditated: the application of spiritual energies that has its parallel in the word medicated. "They returned from the silent time with the guru well-meditated for the day."

mismunication (n) - An incorrect communication.Happens when the perceived meaning of the words is quite different from what was intended.This is a common form of nonmunication in which the reader or listener, having come up with one meaning, does not search for others.
promunication (adj) - Refers to avoidance of at least the most common sources of nonmunication and mismunication, such as the use of words with more than one dictionary definition (particularly where the intended meaning is not the first of those) and the implied or incomplete explanation of concepts which, though obvious to the speaker or writer, may be unfamiliar to others.The use of promunication skills can help ensure effective communication.

mind hack (n):Any method by which one achieves fuller or more effective use of the mind than is known to those who do not use the technique.Usage: The religious observances, yogic practices and cultural protocols developed within Hinduism are the most powerful mind hacks known to man especially when used in concert, as a complete system.Used as a verb, it means to employ any such technique.(This is simply a more complete definition of a term already in use.)

At a time when we need incourageavle people and as one who feels Dumbledored on many occasions, l feel the fictionary is awesomer than it’s more traditional counterpart.
As a scientific mind – epikarma and karmaplasticity – wow!

What’s amazing is just yesterday I was a third party to a bickerbabble and I had to ask myself – can this be mysticalized if I jump in or will it end up with me being slimezd? (the aftermath on your aura when you allow others to take out and dump all their frustrations about someone else on you.) Is this a simple case of mismunication or does it point to a deeper conflict? Should I provide a distractionary comment or would this affect a greater flusterment? As one party continued to bombasticize the issue I craved even more for the feeling of emptillness. I was on the verge of comsplashon (weeping for the suffering of others) when I realized that both had such a biasist position that if I suggested a time out everyone would simply Meditighten (sitting down to in an attempt to meditate by trying to use your external will) which would not make any of us feel awesomer.
