Disillusionist - One who spoils the "magic" for others by revealing how tricks are performed or otherwise dispelling the fantasies, hopes, and dreams of others. (e.g. I didn't realize Kevy Baby was such a disillusionist untile he pulled off Santa's beard in fron of the children.)

Farewellagen - The act of repeatedly saying goodbye to the same person or group of people as you attempt to leave a park, party, or other social event.

Thank you for remembering to capture these.

The former came about after we were standing by a lamp post near the NOS train station bathrooms, waiting for some to complete their business. I noticed that one of the bases of a "steel" lamp posts actually moved by a good couple of inches near the ground. I was responsible killing a dream

:sigh:

Swanks Constant - The principle that in any group of hipsters, one will always owe at least one other a drink, thereby requiring a stop at a bar to repay one's debt. However in so doing so, at least one other person is bought a drink thereby ensuring that another rounds will have to be exchanged sometime in the future - thus in the attempt to achieve equilibrium many drinks are had and many bars and lounges are visited.

Sort of the ultimate 'pay it forward'?

Did you wake up the next morning with a hanging participle?
