Babylago: A Portmanteau of "Babylon" and "Mar-a-lago"

The Book of Revelation describes "Babylon the Great" as a place of arrogance, pride, decadence, and corruption (both spiritual and political). "Babylago" would be its modern equivalent - the US under Donald Trump.

"Whores of Babylago" is a term we can apply to female trump supporters like Laura Loomer.

I’ve been prone to neologisms my entire life due to a mental condition.

Could someone define this one?

Anaiolic - lacking aioli

Thought of this because people at my work keep ordering sandwiches without aioli tonight. We get anaiolic orders from time to time, but we've had like 5 tonight for some reason.

New idiom - Crocodile Therapy (n.)

When someone uses therapy performatively; not to genuinely improve, but to signal growth or remorse after wrongdoing in order to gain forgiveness.

Like “crocodile tears,” but instead of fake emotion, it’s fake self-improvement.

Example: After being caught cheating, he went to a few therapy sessions and kept bringing it up as proof he’d changed; classic crocodile therapy.
