Bowellergic Reaction

An upset stomach from bad food or irritable bowels syndrome. See Delhi belly.

I shouldn't have eaten the leftover food from Delhi Spice Explosion. I'm having a bowellergic reaction and may need to be in the bathroom for the next hour… or two.

Fauxicism

A false toughness defined by machismo and self-imposed isolation. The fauxic lives a life of constant, perceived persecution or threat without a fully formed sense of self. Fauxicism is marked by a projected carapace of imperturbability and lonely burden-carrying, though this may dissolve into snowflakery when the fauxic's sense of honor or respect is impinged.

Drinking yourself into an early grave to avoid talking to someone isn’t tough or edgy, it’s fauxicism.

There is upper-case Stoicism, lower-case stoicism, and then there is Fauxicism, the lowest-case stoicism.
