A while back, the subject was covered here with great insight. An anthropological term for extended adolescence was used that I've since forgotten and I can't seem to find it again. Does anybody here remember that?

Neoteny may have been the term.


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

There are many correct "labels". Can be millennial or snowflakes or boomerang kids or extended adolescent depending on who is describing or in what context they are discussing the person in question. Those were not the terms used here as I remember. Problem is that they are describing a group of mostly men who either slowly transition from children to adults by being stuck in what was always assumed to be a short transitional phase or period. Think of 25 year olds moving back from college, living in their moms basement while they try to find themselves playing videos games or hanging out a chat rooms on the internet.

My wife also gave me three additional terms. Neoteny as noted above, paedogenesis, and Jon. I hope she was kidding about the last one. Jon

Haven't seen it yet. It was short and succinct.

Neoteny is the retention of infantile or juvenile characteristics into adulthood. It probably underlies the domestication of many animals and is especially evident in retrievers. Adult domestic animals are more juvenile than their wild ancestors in aggression, lack of fear, tolerance of other animals and humans, etc. Dogs show varying degrees of neoteny: herding dogs like collies are less neotenous and more like adult wolves in the shape of their muzzle and herding behavior, which is essentially hunting and chasing of prey. Retrievers like labs retain a rounded puppy-like face, love to play (retrieve), and are more social and puppy-like in their love of people.

Was the discussion centered on gun buying habits? My lovely wife is looking for a term to describe my buying habits.
