(名詞) 採取行動的人。試與 bystander (旁觀者) 作比較。
引句：
“I had to do something because I feel that there is no place in my hometown of Houston for unchallenged haters,” Bleiweiss said. “This group has taken on a life of its own, and it has become time consuming for me, but I would rather be an ‘upstander,’ and do something about the hatred, than be a bystander.”
—Arlene Nisson Lassin, “Taking matters into his own hands,” The Houston Chronicle, November 6, 2009

(名詞) 化療 (chemotherapy) 後的記憶力衰退 (健忘) 及心智功能減弱現象。亦寫成 chemo fog, chemo-fog。
這個字最初是以兩個字 chemo fog 的型態出現，然後變成 chemo-fog，最後再變成一個字 chemofog。值得注意的是，在英文中，與 chemofog 同義的用字或用語還有 chemobrain (或 chemo brain) 和 brain fog，它們出現得比較早，而且比 chemofog 常用許多。
引句：
Dr Janette Vardy from the Sydney Cancer Centre, told the Clinical Oncological Society of Australia Annual Scientific Meeting ‘chemofog‘ had previously been assumed to be temporary, but for 20 to 30 per cent of patients, it had been shown to be ongoing. “It is only in the last 10 years that we have recognised ‘chemofog‘ or ‘chemobrain’ as a condition,” Dr Vardy said. “For a long time some oncologists didn’t believe it was real and it was all in the mind.

(名詞) 對男性所造成的影響更甚於女性的經濟不景氣。亦寫成 man-cession。這個字是由 man 和 recession 拼綴而成。
引句：
What is a mancession, you ask? It’s not this. It’s a recession that hurts men much more than women, and we are allegedly in the worst mancession in recent history. Eighty percent of job losses in the last two years were among men, said AEI scholar Christina Hoff Summers, and it could get worse.

例句：
I asked Tom to lend me his bicycle, and he sent me this old, rusty one. But beggars can’t be choosers. (我要湯姆將他的腳踏車借給我，而他卻送來這台老舊又生鏽的腳踏車。沒辦法，人在屋簷下，不得不低頭。)

註：Beggars can’t be choosers. 有「人在屋簷下，不得不低頭」和「飢不擇食」這兩個意思，所以翻譯時端賴上下文的意思而定。

(名詞) 快速挑選商品就結帳離開的人。這些人因不喜歡購物或沒有太多時間購物，所以在購物挑選商品時往往未多加思考，拿到商品就快速結帳走人。
—grab-and-go (動詞)：快速挑選商品就結帳離開。
引句：
The clichés are that women shop, men buy. But when I went shopping with people — and I went shopping with a lot of men and women — I found that a lot of women are what men are supposed to be, which is the ‘grab and goers,’ who hate shopping. When a man spends hours and hours and hours online looking for the right cellphone or something like that, he’s shopping. But the culture tends not to notice that.

(名詞) 能同時滿足愛好、品味等截然不同的消費者之需求的產品本質和固有特性。這個字是由 paradoxical (自相矛盾的) 和 essence 拼綴而成。
—paradessential (形容詞)：這種產品本質和固有特性的。
引句：
Many products exhibit a paradoxical essence, or paradessence, in promising to simultaneously satisfy two opposing consumer/buyer desires. ‘Products blessed with paradessence somehow combine two mutually exclusive states and satisfy both simultaneously. Ice cream melds eroticism and innocence. Air travel offers sanitised adventure. Amusement parks provide terror and reassurance. Automobiles render drivers reckless and safe. Sneakers grasp earth and help consumers soar free. Muzak is a hybrid of transience and eternity’.

(名詞) 森林大火地理學：研究過去、現在及預測之森林大火分佈情形的學問。這個字的字首 pyro- 意為「火」(fire)。
—pyrogeographer (名詞)：森林大火地理學家。
—pyrogeographical (形容詞)：森林大火地理 (學) 的。
引句：
A key to understanding those consequences is the notion of the “fire regime”, where different vegetation has characteristic fires in terms of recurrence, intensity, seasonality and biological effects. Indeed, fire can be thought of as an emergent property of vegetation in the same way that vegetation can be thought of as an emergent property of climates. In other words, Earth has a “pyrogeography“.
