<clog_activity>
<clog_expressions>
eureka /juəˈri:kə/ = I have found it! (announcing a discovery etc.)
against the grain (to go ~) = contrary to the natural inclination or feeling of someone or something
bipolar disorder = mental illness characterized by the alternation of manic and depressive states; depression is the more common symptom, and many patients experience only a brief period of overoptimism and mild euphoria during the manic phase
disinhibition (aka behavioural disinhibition) = medically recognized as an orientation towards immediate gratification, leading to impulsive behaviour driven by current thoughts, feelings, and external stimuli, without regard for past learning or consideration for future consequences. It is one of five pathological personality trait domains in certain psychiatric disorders. In psychology, it is defined as a lack of restraint manifested in disregard of social conventions, impulsivity, and poor risk assessment
schizophrenia /ˌskɪtsəuˈfri:njə/ = mental disease marked by a breakdown in the relation between thoughts, feelings, and actions, frequently accompanied by delusions and retreat from social life
dopamine /'dɔpə,main/ = central nervous system neurotransmitter essential to control of motion; it also acts as a hormone. Degeneration of certain dopamine-producing brain cells results in parkinsonism; often called the "happy hormone," dopamine results in feelings of well-being. A primary driver of the brain's reward system, it spikes when we experience something pleasurable
thalamus /'θæləməs/ = either of two masses of grey matter in the forebrain, serving as relay stations for sensory tracts
on the back burner = when something is temporarily not being dealt with or considered, especially because it is not urgent or important
27 Club = informal list consisting mostly of popular musicians, often expanded by artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27. Although the claim of a "statistical spike" for the death of musicians at that age has been refuted by scientific research, it remains a common cultural conception that the phenomenon exists, with many celebrities who die at 27 noted for their high-risk lifestyles
extraneous /eksˈtreɪnjəs/ (~ to) = separate from the object to which it is attached
amorphous /əˈmɔːfəs/ = without a clearly defined shape or form.
off-the-cuff = without preparing ahead of time what you will say; without preparation
