    Polari (also spelt Palarie, Parlary, Palare and various other ways) is a language most commonly associated with gay men (and to a lesser extent lesbians), used in the first two-thirds of the 20th century in British cities that had large and mainly underground gay subcultures. Originally a secret language, passed down via word of mouth, it was a necessity in a world where homosexuality was stigmatized. According to author Paul Baker, "Polari could be seen as a form of anti-language, a term created by Michael Halliday in 1978 to describe how stigmatised subcultures develop languages that help them to reconstruct reality according to their own values."

    A 2018 study by Vessisiere and Stendel of McGill University in Canada argue that smartphone technology may not be inherently addictive, per se. While many might think that compulsively checking one's phone is antisocial, these researchers claim the behavior is not so much antisocial as fundamentally social: mobile technology addiction is driven by the human urge to connect with people, and the related necessity to be seen, heard, thought about, guided, and monitored by others, that reaches deep in humans' social brains and far in our evolutionary past.
