Gothic Dictionary

Friends - (frendz) n' 1. A companion you enjoy spending time with. ex. I'm going to my friend's house. 2. Someone you will never date; except, if that happens you do not want to look stupid when actually going out with them in a somewhat protested fashion. ex. a. We're just friends. b. I don't want to stop being friends. c. You're like my best friend.

I thought there was another Gothic Dictionary, yet I searched and couldn't find it, so feel free to move this definition onto it when finding the old thread or just post to this one.

For the record, I don't date or sleep with people I'm not friends with. I call bullshit on that definition.

sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Sonder is such a beautiful concept. If we all lived with it swirling in our heads, I bet we'd all treat each other a lot better.

The DoOS is awesome for stuff like that, though only sonder really sticks with me. For some reason it strikes me as somehow Norse.

opia
n. the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable—their pupils glittering, bottomless and opaque—as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there’s someone standing there, but unable to tell if you’re looking in or looking out.
