Pay Careful Attention!!
Pay close attention here–I’m about to point out a word that will change your life forever:
Reify
It means, “To regard or treat (an abstraction) as if it had concrete or material existence.” Now how powerful is that!? Next time your significant other is nagging you to do laundry, assert your immaterial self and cry out, “Don’t reify me into doing humble chores!” Obviously, this also suggests the threat, “I’ll reify YOU,” especially good against philosophers, existentialists, and clergymen. It’s a word we should all use more often.
